Convert "buttons" to "links" visually on Privacy Export/Erasure "Next Steps" column

[xkon]

As noted in #44264 (comment #12) by @karmatosed we should take a look on converting from Buttons to Links at least visually on the Next Steps columns.

I do agree with this as well as when you are starting to have a list of 5-10-20 ( I've seen way more :D ) exports/erasures the secondary buttons are becoming overwhelming as they are stacked on top of each other.

49323.diff​ changes the previous viewed buttons into links. Unfortunately due to the nature of the actions, some remain as <button> and some are actual <a href>, that's something that we might want to deal with in the future to fully support a11y as well here maybe via Speak also since the context is changing.

I'll also add a need-testings just in case I'm missing anything from the functionality although it's purely classes that have been added & removed :).

I'm definitely +1 on this change, the UI looks way cleaner.

I really prefer this, thanks for working on it. I'll remove the design feedback label and let's get this iteration in.

[xkon]

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback :-).

Note: We'll need #44264 first to go in and this ticket will then need a refresh as there will be some minor conflicts due to the percentage change and they can't be applied together.

As soon as the commit is done I'll quickly refresh this to get it in as well.

Thanks @xkon, this works nicely. I appreciate the update. I'll hold on marking commit as you mentioned it's better to have #44264 go first.

In 47247:

Privacy: Convert buttons to links visually in Privacy Export/Erasure "Next Steps" column.

With a lot of export or erasure requests, the secondary buttons were becoming overwhelming when stacked on top of each other.

Props xkon, karmatosed.
Fixes #49323.

@xkon: I see the .updating-message class removed in 49323.diff​, but not in 49323.2.diff​.

It's removed in [47247]. Should it be restored?

[xkon]

Whoops! No it should not be re-added. I guess I forgot about it on the refresh 😓 sorry.

The commit looks fine as is!

Replying to xkon:

No worries! Thanks for the confirmation, that's what I figured :) In my testing, it didn't seem to affect anything without the .button class.

Dropping privacy focus as it's already in the Privacy component.
