 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="61645"
 Admin: Update button and form field styles to align with the design
 system.

 Introduce a design system tokens file (`_tokens.scss`) based on the
 WordPress Design System, providing standardized values for colors,
 spacing, typography, border-radius, and elevation.

 Update buttons to use CSS custom properties for theme color support across
 all admin color schemes. Restyle primary buttons with filled theme-color
 backgrounds, secondary buttons with outlined borders, and add a tertiary
 button mixin. Adopt Gutenberg-style focus rings with outset box-shadows
 and transparent outlines for Windows High Contrast mode compatibility.

 Increase default input and select height from 30px to 40px, apply 2px
 border-radius, and update border and placeholder colors to match the
 design system. Restyle checkboxes and radios with filled theme-color
 checked states and white indicator marks, using outset double-ring focus
 styles consistent with Gutenberg.

 Apply compact 32px sizing to list table controls, page-title-action
 buttons, and toolbar elements. Convert tag input layouts and the major-
 publishing-actions bar to flexbox.

 Props fabiankaegy, joedolson, audrasjb, joen, phpbits, magaliechetrit,
 karmatosed.
 Fixes #64547.
