4aa4970fc9 Add grey lines to visually show level of nesting
Uses some CSS to draw some grey lines to show which radios descend from
which.

I don’t feel like the intentation is enough, and it looks a bit messy
because the circles of the radio buttons don’t have straight edges
easily suggest visual alignment.

Copies the design from conditionally revealing content in the design
system:
https://design-system.service.gov.uk/components/radios/#conditionally-revealing-content

Implementation is done with pseudo elements, because borders can’t be
positionned exactly enough.

807396f8b9 Add comment to explain combining of flex and float
Just so no-one thinks it’s redundant and removes it.

a82ce7de1f Fix folder navigation in IE 10
IE10 doesn’t support flexbox. We can work around this using floats.

I think the flexbox will override it, so will be ignored by newer
browsers.

3b5bd0bd9a Centre text in pill navigation
Now the text is smaller (fewer words) it looks a bit wrong bunched up
on the left. the only other page this affects is ‘API integration’.

fb960205f3 Fix invisible focused item text
GOV.UK Template hanged the colour of text in focused links in
79466a489c

It was done with greater specificity than before. This means that the
way we were previously overriding the focus colour (for links with a
dark background) no longer works.

This commit makes our override more specific, so that it works again.

867143e871 Center-align pill text when there’s no big number
When the text is left aligned it looks messy because the spacing is so
uneven and there are no big numbers to give it some rhythm.

2ecfc2bb80 Fix invalid nesting of HTML elements
In HTML you generally can’t nest an inline level element inside a block
level one, if you want your HTML to validate.

There were a couple of places where we were using a `<span>` as a
containing element:
- inside every table cell (think we inherited this from Digital
  Marketplace)
- in the ‘pill’ navigation component for the selected tab

This meant that when we put components like big number inside these,
the resulting HTML was invalid, because big number is built with a bunch
of `<div>`s, which are block level.

This commit removes the use of a `<span>` tag in these places, and
replaces it with a `<div>`. Nesting block level elements in fine in
HTML.

3e89baf117 Mark up ‘pill’ component as being tabs
Currently it’s not possible for a screen reader user to know which
financial year they’re looking at. From the accessibility report:

> The financial year links are contained in a navigation region -
> tabbing or arrowing through only reads out the links, not the main
> information of "2016 to 2017 financial year" - that information is
> vital for understanding the page content.

This problem also applies to other pages which use the `pill` component,
which is effectively tabbed navigation (that reloads the page rather
than showing or hiding content on the page).

There are specific ARIA attributes that can be used to mark up a
navigation as being tabbed. This commit:

- adds those attributes
- makes the selected ‘tab’ visible to screenreaders and keyboard
  focusable
- adds a visual focus indicator to the selected tab
- adds `id`s to the parts of the page that are controlled by the tabs so
  that they are labelled as such

This also means changing the pill component from being a `<nav>` to a
`<ul>` because `tablist` is not a valid `role` for a `nav`.

Mostly follows the example here:

7cdf6c2495 Fix status counter in old IE versions
We use flexbox to lay out the counts of sending/delivered/failed on the
activity and job pages. flexbox makes the best use of the space when
the numbers can be significantly different widths (eg 0 sending, 5000
delivered).

Flexbox was only supported from IE 11 onwards [1]. And since we were
setting the `display` property of the individual numbers to `block` they
were rendering one-per-line on browsers that don’t support flexbox.

This commit changes these items to be floated and a predefined width. In
browsers that support it, flexbox seems to override these hard-coded
widths. It’s not quite as good as the flexbox solution because:

- it doesn’t adjust the widths in the nice way that flexbox does

- it’s hard-coded to expect 4 items (we don’t have this component with
  any other number of items at the moment, so it won’t actually break
  anything)

But it’s pretty much OK because:

- it’s a lot better than the before

- IE 8 and 9 combined only make up 5% of our users, and this will be a
  declining number

- polyfilling flexbox would mean using Javascript, and we don’t serve
  working Javacript to IE 8 users anyway

f514d377f7 Add a new pattern for sub-navigation
This is like the ‘pill’ pattern that we use for filtering lists of
notifications. However it is meant for navigating between discrete
things, not a filtered view of the same list.

This is why is has a gutter between each item, and no selected state.

Turns out we already had a pattern about this on the dashboard, so this
commit also changes the dashboard to use the same code.

a0f6956eab Give headline numbers a blue, not black background
These numbers don’t look very clickable white-on-black.

Blue is the colour of links, so lets see if they are more clickable in
blue.

The same clicking-a-big-number thing is also happening on the activity
page, so this commit also changes the activity page to look the same.

e7e0b2f227 Put counts into the notification filters
We can filter notifications on the activity page by state.

This commit adds counts to those filters.

This is mainly so that we can consistently do the same thing on the job
page later on.

27ad1532e4 Make the flow of using templates better
For users who:
- want to send messages from a template
- want to edit templates

For developers:
- who need to get the ID of a template

This commit mainly cleans up the choose template page so there are less
options, and the options that are there are less wordy.

This means:
- moving ‘send yourself a test’ onto the send messages page, and making
  it button
- stripping a lot of stuff out of the ‘send from API’ page, so it’s more
  obvious what the template ID is

e282ca2109 Allow filter links to be used in combination
Means you can see, for example emails that have failed.

Means adding:
- logic to generate links which can have a type parameter, a status
  parameter, or both
- a ‘pill’ UI component for seeing which filters you currently have
  applied
- some logic to change the page title based on which filters you have
  applied
