People picker doesn't read suggestionsAvailableAlertText, reads suggestions twice #4764

Are you willing to submit a PR to fix? Yes

Requested priority: Normal

Describe the issue:

The people picker currently reads every selected suggestion twice. This is because a div with role=alert was added to allow for suggestions to be read in IE11. This same alert squashes the suggestionsAvailableAlertText when it's set, so it's never read. You can repro today on the demo page - try with Edge and Narrator.

Expected behavior:

The people picker should read each suggestion once (in every browser), and should read suggestionsAvailableAlertText when possible (for IE11, we won't be able to fix the issue.)
