BUG - Sev-3 - All - Alert component has duplicate heading accessibility roles when not expandable

[oddballdave]

What happened?

Found while running unit tests in the VA Mobile App. Several unit tests fail with the Alert component when calling screen.getByRole('heading') because both the Alert and child Text components have role="heading" properties.

Specs:

• Device:
• OS:
• User Account:
• Accessibility State:

Steps to Reproduce

Run the unit tests in the VA Mobile App by executing yarn test.

Desired behavior

The VA Mobile App unit tests should not fail. The Alert component should not specify the role="heading" property. Instead, this should be handled by the child Text component by using the variant="heading" property.
