The admin sidebar was kind of a mess. It used the class names and styles

from the admin widgets, but then did a bunch of overrides and other

element-specific styles. This change breaks it apart and makes it so that

future redesign work will be much easier.


This involves several pieces:


    

  • Renaming the template so it doesn't claim to be a widget.
    • 

  • Switching away from the .admin-widget class and associated
    
  sub-element classes, and moving towards our new CSS naming standards.
    • 

  • Defining new rules for the new classes, bringing across only those
    
  things which are necessary for the look of the sidebar.
    • 

  • Eliminating style rules specific to each section of the sidebar and
    
  making those general.
    • 



There is one visual change in here, removing the text from the "Add"

links within the "Manage" section. This text really doesn't add anything

to the user experience, and it cluttered up both the visual appearance

and the style rules. I've moved this into a tooltip instead (and changed

it to say "Add new").

      Rename the admin sidebar template.
      
The admin sidebar template name was kind of confusing, making it appear
like it was a widget (when it's really not). This change renames the
template and updates the relevant templatetag to point to the new
location. While there I also renamed the templatetag to be more
explanatory.

Testing Done:
Verified that the admin sidebar still appeared correctly.

      Stop using admin-widget styles for the admin sidebar.
      
This change switches the admin sidebar away from using the
`.admin-widget` class and associated styles. For now, the relevant
styles are copied into a new set of rules. As we redesign the admin UI,
this will allow us to modify the sidebar independently without affecting
the widgets.

Testing Done:
Verified the appearance of the sidebar in the admin UI.

      Remove section-specific styles for admin sidebar.
      
The three sections in the admin sidebar had some style rules specific to
each one. These weren't really necessary, and in most cases were there
to override things inherited from the `.admin-widget` styles.

The one visual change this makes is to remove the text from the "Add"
links within the "Manage" section. This text really doesn't add anything
to the user experience, and it cluttered up both the visual appearance
and the style rules. I've moved this into a tooltip instead (and changed
it to say "Add new").

Testing Done:

    This has been a pet peeve of mine for a while. Glad to see this cleaned up, and using the new CSS conventions :)

    BEM-related style guidelines say that each selector should be on its own line, so it's easier to make incremental changes and see them in a diff.
