Add accessible name to the font scaling slider

[malinfossum]

Type of Change

• Bug fix
• UI/UX improvement

Description

FontScalingSlider in the font scaling popup has no AutomationProperties.Name, so screen readers (Narrator, NVDA) announce it as an unnamed slider with only a raw numeric value — the surrounding "Small"/"Large"/percentage TextBlocks are not associated with the control. This adds AutomationProperties.Name="Font Scaling" so the slider is announced by name.

One-attribute XAML change, companion to #4992 (which names the popup's toggle button and the other top-bar controls). Verified with .\Compile.ps1 -Run + Narrator; full Pester suite passes (549/549).
