[meta] Review text link styling throughout GitLab

Resources

FE @alfredo1

This will be a meta issue for the review of anchors throughout the app. These issues will be focused on small actionable changes that allow us to easily improve the current experience. Let's discuss bigger changes on different issues.

Tasks:

• gitlab-foss#24125 (moved): Make sure that all anchors share the same style on hover and focus
• gitlab-foss#24129 (moved): Add underline for all anchors on hover and focus
• gitlab-foss#24130 (moved): Add color change on hover for all anchors

Some points that we should consider when we perform a bigger redesign:

• Find a better way to convey focus state, as the Bootstrap glow is not perfect.

We should probably find all css rules that have effect on this.

@cperessini was there already an outcome of the desired state(s)/styles we want? from https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/21287

like which exact colors or exact style etc

@cperessini Have you thought about having consistent styles for links that aren't blue (e.g. sidebar links and user name links on comment headers)? These are links that users only know about if they hover them.
