Konstantin Schaper 4b92959b9c Revert introduction of tailwind (#2109)
After many days invested in making tailwind work in the SCM-Manager environment as well as a long discussion last week, we have decided not to move further with tailwind, but still keep adding new, independent modules for frontend components. Tailwind simply overcomplicated our build pipeline because bulma was already part of the api and the two were incompatible on several occasions. Styling will continue to be guided by bulma and all parts related to tailwind are removed. We therefore continue the trend of focusing on improving our existing stack rather than adding further complexity.

# 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.
<table>

<tr>
<th>Emphasis</th>
<th>Button Variant</th>

<td>Low</td>
<td><Button variant="tertiary">Tertiary</Button></td>
<td>Circumstantially relevant action on page with many actionable elements</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
## 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.
