Upgrade notes

When passing additional custom classes in via label, caption, hint or legend hashes they are added to the default class rather than overwriting it. This brings the behaviour in line with the rest of the library and considered a bug fix rather than a breaking change.

Given the input:

f.govuk_text_area :details, label: { text: "Some details", class: "special-class" }

Output before this release

<label for="model-details-field" class="special-class">Some details</label>

Output after this release

<label for="model-details-field" class="govuk-label special-class">Some details</label>
