Comment:

 [attachment:"39074.9.diff"] builds on the previous patches and makes the
 "move" buttons always visible.

 It also fixes the mismatch between visual order and DOM order of the
 elements within the boxes "header". The order is now:
 1. title
 2. ("Configure" link for the few dashboard widgets that provide
 configuration)
 3. move up
 4. move down
 5. toggle

 For the "header" styling, it introduces a new element wrapper and makes
 use of CSS flexbox so this change will need a quick dev note to inform
 plugin authors, in case they're adding things to the boxes header.

 The patch can be tested:
 - on the Dashboard page: reminder that there are always 4 sortables areas
 which are laid out depending on the viewport width (zoom out to see them
 all)
 - on the Classic Editor post edit page: there are 3 sortables areas there
