fix description for semantics finders (#181214)
Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/181196

This PR fixes the description for the bySemanticsLabel/Identifier
matchers, which was missing.

Note: The framework uses `byElementPredicate()` in a bunch of places in
tests, but not all use the `description` field.
Should we add descriptions to those?

Example:

```dart
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_test/flutter_test.dart';

void main() {
  testWidgets('bySemanticsLabel', (tester) async {
    await tester.pumpWidget(const MaterialApp(home: Text('hello')));
    await tester.pumpAndSettle();
    expect(find.bySemanticsLabel('goodbye'), findsOneWidget);
  });

  testWidgets('bySemanticsLabel regex', (tester) async {
    await tester.pumpWidget(const MaterialApp(home: Text('hello')));
    await tester.pumpAndSettle();
    expect(find.bySemanticsLabel(RegExp('^foo')), findsOneWidget);
  });

  testWidgets('bySemanticsIdentifier', (tester) async {
    await tester.pumpWidget(const MaterialApp(home: Text('hello')));
    await tester.pumpAndSettle();
    expect(find.bySemanticsIdentifier('goodbye'), findsOneWidget);
  });

  testWidgets('bySemanticsIdentifier regex', (tester) async {
    await tester.pumpWidget(const MaterialApp(home: Text('hello')));
    await tester.pumpAndSettle();
    expect(find.bySemanticsIdentifier(RegExp('^foo')), findsOneWidget);
  });
}
```

now gives:

```dart
