Opinionated: reintroduce cursor:pointer
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Explicitly re-adds the "hand" `cursor:pointer` for non-disabled `.btn`, `.close`, `.navbar-toggler` elements, as well as forcing `page-link` pagination controls to always have the "hand" cursor (even if an author uses it on, say, `<button>` elements for a dynamically updating in-page pagination).

Controversial, as everybody jumped on the bandwagon following this article https://medium.com/simple-human/buttons-shouldnt-have-a-hand-cursor-b11e99ca374b - which does have its merits of course, but there are also counter-arguments like http://kizu.ru/en/issues/cursor-pointer/

And seeing the amount of issues we've seen following the change, and the potential complexity needed to consistently address the cursor issue (see #24156 where i explore how the cursor needs to be based on "intent", and how that's tough to determine), I'm favouring an opinionated take here of just reintroducing the `cursor:pointer`.
