 Administration: Ensure collapse menu is usable with a keyboard

 Currently, the "Collapse menu" item is not focusable and keyboard users
 can't collapse/expand the admin menu. This aims to fix it so that screen
 readers no longer announce it as a clickable but it remains unfocusable
 and thus unusable. So it's now a button.

 Quoting joedolson at WordCamp Chicago 2014:
 "If it's supposed to act like a button, it should be a button."

 Also includes a grunt:precommit run that picked up some postcss changes to
 src/wp-includes/css/customize-preview.css

 Fixes #29958.
 Props ajercia, ipm-frommen for an iterative patch, valendesigns for an
 iterative patch, GaryJ for feedback, joedolson for feedback, helen for
 feedback
