Make the kid app's block screen work with TalkBack and large text #50

Description

@jsconu

The block screen is what a child actually sees at the moment they're stopped, which makes it the worst screen in the app to be unreadable. It hasn't been checked with a screen reader or at large font sizes.

What to do

Turn on TalkBack, set font size to the largest setting, open the block screen, and fix what breaks:

  • Missing or unhelpful content descriptions
  • A reading order that doesn't match the visual one
  • Text that truncates or overlaps
  • Touch targets under 48dp

Where

kid/src/main/java/org/openscreentime/kid/ui/BlockOverlayActivity.kt and the overlay composables it uses.

Done when

The screen reads sensibly top to bottom with TalkBack, and nothing is clipped at the largest font size. A before/after screenshot in the pull request helps.
