#64860: [Admin reskin] Inconsistent hover vs focus styles on submenu items

-------------------------------------+-----------------------------
Submenu items in the admin sidebar now show a 2px border radius on
keyboard focus, while hover still shows the sharp left line.
Previously both hover and focus matched with sharp borders. The focus
state is picking up the generic 2px border-radius from `a`
[https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
develop/blob/debd1f55d96e37597c26314f59e7b9075ad43f8c/src/wp-
admin/css/common.css#L283 styles in common.css]. It should match the sharp
hover styling like it did before the reskin.
Steps to reproduce:
To reproduce:
1. Go to admin.
2. Start tabbing to a submenu, confirm the focus styles have a rounded
border.
3. Hover the same submenu, confirm the styles are right (sharp left line).
