[Feature]: useAnnounce - Support aria-live="off" value #35978

Describe the feature that you would like added

The v9 useAnnounce hook does not support setting aria-live to "off". In v8, the Announced component supported this value, which is essential for:

  • Temporarily disabling announcements during batch updates
  • Preventing announcement storms when multiple state changes occur rapidly
  • Conditional announcement behavior based on user preferences or context
    Current workaround: account.microsoft.com (AMC) must conditionally skip calling useAnnounce entirely when aria-live should be "off", which creates different code paths and is error-prone.

Additional context

Was supported by the V8 Announced component
