Give priority to document.title over h1 when announcing page change (#31147)
## Improvement

This pull-request should address https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/24021, improving the page change announcement for assistive technologies by giving priority to `document.title` over `h1`. Interestingly, it would also improve a potential performance bottleneck by skipping calls to `innerText` on the main `h1` raised in [this comment](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/pull/20428#issuecomment-962537038).
