Issue description
As a screen reader user, I need each delete button on the DNS name servers fields to have a unique and descriptive accessible name so that I can identify which server it is associated with and confidently perform the correct action. @zandercymatics has also pointed out other issues with buttons throughout all pages of the domain management workflow that he will correct (these were not called out in the Section 508 compliance test)
This will ensure compliance with Trusted Tester ID [1.3.1 Info and Relationships] and WCAG success criteria 2.4.4 Name, Role Value, which requires that the purpose of links and buttons be clear from their labels alone.

Current Issue:
The delete buttons on the page currently share the same accessible name, making them indistinguishable for screen reader users.
This creates confusion as users cannot determine which button corresponds to which server.
Acceptance criteria
Each delete button has a unique and descriptive accessible name that clearly indicates the server it corresponds to (e.g., "Delete Server 1," "Delete Server 2").
The accessible name should match or align with the visible label to provide a consistent experience.
Zander to survey all buttons and correct accessible names on the following pages:
Screen readers should announce distinct labels for each delete button.
Implementation should be verified using assistive technologies such as NVDA, JAWS, or VoiceOver.
Additional context
By programmatically giving the buttons unique accessible names, we reduce the risk of in users selecting the wrong search function, causing frustration and inefficiency. This improves the overall user experience.
