Docs: rename "Screen readers" helper page to "Visually hidden"

"screen readers" is quite reductive, as there are other assistive technologies. content hidden this way is even announced by things like Alexa/Siri etc, so it's not so much just "screen readers".
in the long run, we may even consider changing the actual classnames (maybe `.visually-hidden` / `.visually-hidden-focusable`, though admittedly that's a bit verbose).

also includes a tiny tweak to layout.md to generalise the note about using `.sr-only`

Use the `.col-auto` class to create horizontal layouts. By adding [gutter modifier classes]({{< docsref "/layout/gutters" >}}), we'll have gutters in horizontal and vertical directions. The `.align-items-center` aligns the form elements to the middle, making the `.form-checkbox` align properly.
Be sure to always include a `<label>` with each form control, even if you need to hide it from non-screenreader visitors with `.visually-hidden`.

Visually hide an element while still allowing it to be exposed to assistive technologies (such as screen readers) with `.sr-only`. Use `.sr-only-focusable` to visually hide an element by default, but to display it when it's focused (e.g. by a keyboard-only user). Can also be used as mixins.
{{< example >}}
<h2 class="sr-only">Title for screen readers</h2>
<a class="sr-only-focusable" href="#content">Skip to main content</a>
{{< /example >}}
{{< highlight scss >}}
// Usage as a mixin
.sr-only-title {
@include sr-only;
}
.skip-navigation {
@include sr-only-focusable;
}
{{< /highlight >}}
