This changes the feedback buttons in two ways. 1) Use copies of the bootstrap classes to color buttons. This way the feedback colors don't get changed by theming on the client side. The themes can still modify the actual classes used to change the buttons if desired, but the feedback buttons themselves can be themed independently of other bootstrap buttons. 2) Create a new feedback class "unknown" to use when showing the results of a problem with `$showPartialCorrectAnswers=0`. Currently on problems with limited feedback, it can be unclear to the student that they actually submitted the answer vs previewed the answer. This is accomplished by marking the buttons as incorrect if no answer is correct (0% on the problem), and marking them as "unknown" which shows a yellow button with a question mark in a circle if the problem is partially correct.

I am using this PR as a discussion (so it is a draft). I'm unsure what others will think of these changes, but this is to address two issues I have with the feedback buttons. I have attempted to implement suggested changes to address the issues.
The first is themes can change the feedback button colors since they are using the bootstrap color classes. This may not be desirable that the feedback buttons match the webwork button colors, so new classes are created for the feedback buttons that can be themed independently of the bootstrap classes.
The second is when
$showPartialCorrectAnswers=0and the student didn't get the problem correct, the feedback looks like a "Preview Answers" and it confuses students as they think they hit "Preview Answers" and not "Submit Answer" button. This makes it so the feedback has its own look for this case. It uses the yellow color for partially correct, a title of "Unknown" (I think something better could be used here to indicate it is unknown if the answer is correct or incorrect) and a question mark in a circle as the icon (my question mark needs to be improved, I had trouble finding a good SVG question mark).
