[Bug][a11y]: Tabs overflow component has action buttons that don't necessarily need keyboard focus

Impacted component(s)

sp-tabs-overflow

Expected behavior

Please take overflow related previous and next buttons out of taborder by using tabindex="-1" on them. They're also not labelled, so please add aria-label to both the buttons.

Actual behavior

Having tabstops before the tabs component to reveal any hidden tabs seems unnecessary. Keyboard users are able to use arrow keys to navigate through all the tabs and the visual affordance allows them to know that there are more tabs. For screen reader users, the number of tabs is already conveyed by the tablist. So, overall addition of two tabstops (for back and forward buttons) is not necessary. Even on mobile, using a screenreader, a user can go through all the tabs without needing to use these buttons.
