🎨 Palette: Add accessibility label to SearchControl ProgressBar

[AhmmedSamier]

🎨 Palette: Accessible Progress Indicator

💡 What:
Added the AutomationProperties.Name attribute to the ProgressBar element within SearchControl.xaml in the Visual Studio Extension.

🎯 Why:
Non-interactive progress indicators like ProgressBars need descriptive labels for screen readers. Without an explicit name, visually impaired users have no context for what the progress bar represents. Adding "Indexing progress" provides immediate, clear context.

♿ Accessibility:
Improves screen reader compatibility by explicitly defining the purpose of the progress bar using standard WPF accessibility patterns.

Poem

🐰 A ProgressBar sat silent and plain,
Till screen readers called out in vain,
Now with a name, it sings with pride,
Accessibility's our guide,
Every user can see the progress train! 🚂✨
