Konstantin Schaper 27dbcbf28d Integrate tailwind css and create new button library (#2098)
Introduce tailwind as new frontend styling library to replace bulma in the longer run. Also create the first new ui library `ui-buttons` which will be the new standard for buttons ins SCM-Manager. In this library we reconsidered which types of buttons should be used to create a clean and consistent ui.

# Buttons
The `@scm-manager/ui-buttons` library provides [atoms](https://atomicdesign.bradfrost.com/chapter-2/#atoms) implemented
as minimal wrappers around native html elements styled to match the general SCM-Manager aesthetic.
## Components
There are three actionable components available. Styling is consistent amongst them and all have the required `variant` property.
1. [Button](?path=/story/components--button)
2. [Link Button](?path=/story/components--link-button)
3. [External Link Button](?path=/story/components--external-link-button)
## Usage
Actionable components serve a dedicated purpose. It is therefore important to know when and how to use them.
### Variants
There are four variants available to each of the three button types, varying in importance.

<td>Circumstantially relevant action on page with many actionable elements</td>
</tr>

## Content
Buttons exclusively contain text and no icons. Icons tend to be ambiguous and not always applicable which leads to inconsistent
and cluttered layouts.
Button text should be short, concise and describe the action performed.
