Comment (by afercia):

 In [changeset:"40646"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="40646"
 Accessibility: Change the "Show details" links in the update core screen
 to buttons.

 These controls toggle the visibility of the update progress: they perform
 an action
 therefore they should be buttons. Also:
 - uses `aria-expanded` to communicate the toggle button state
 - removes some inline JavaScript
 - when clicking the toggle buttons, the progress details get moved with
 JavaScript after the button: this helps users of assistive technologies in
 finding them and makes the UI a bit more intuitive

 Props Cheffheid, afercia.
 See #26504.
 Fixes #40453.
