The last time a new widget was introduced, Vuvuzelas were a thing, Angry Birds started taking over phones, and WordPress stopped shipping with Kubrick. Seven years and 17 releases without new widgets have been enough, time to spice up your sidebar!

Links used as UI controls that behave like buttons, should be buttons.
- changes the widgets "toggle", "Delete", and "Close" links to buttons
- uses `aria-expanded` to announce the state of the toggle buttons
- increases a bit the clickable area of the toggle
- ensures the "circular focus" doesn't get cut-off in some browsers by centering the toggle arrows
- uses a `<span>` element with an `aria-hidden` attribute to hide CSS generated font icons from assistive technologies
- standardizes on `.toggle-indicator:before` rather than `:after`
- changes two `#f00` reds in `#dc3232`, see #35622Fixes#31476.

Rejoice, for your admins will feel more native to your surrounding computing environment and likely load faster, especially when offline, as they no longer have to talk to The Google Overlord.
At the time of introduction in 3.8, there were not good system fonts common to all platforms at the time. In the years since, Windows, Android, OS X, iOS, Firefox OS, and various flavors of Linux have all gotten their own (good) system UI fonts.
There will definitely be visual bugs, mainly around alignment and spacing; these should be documented and reported on the ticket and fixed more atomically so that our current and future selves have a better understanding of what happened and why.
The style remains registered, as it is almost certainly in use by themes and plugins.
