What does this PR do? 🛠️

Per one of the items in #516, the current conditions block does not have an h2 header. This prevents good screen reader navigation.

We have added the header -- and the config values that tell the block to display its label -- in this PR. Additionally, the header element has the usa-sr-only attribute, which means it will be invisible but will still be captured by the screen reader. We've done this in order to preserve the original design.

Screenshots (if appropriate): 📸

In this screenshot, you'll see the accessibility inspector highlighting an invisible element to the left (it's small). The inspector shows that it is a heading with the text Current conditions
