Enhancing Cancel Links & Dropdowns in Publish Box

While I was working on ​http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/26081#comment:2 I noticed that the dropdowns were a bit off and the cancel links were not aligned.

So I did some edits and made the cancel links buttons in #####-1.patch

But, if the cancel-as-links are intentional, then #####-2.patch at least fixes the alignment issues from ​https://cloudup.com/c5Ozt4QNAcr to ​https://cloudup.com/cJX52hjmyTv

This is all Chrome/Firefox it needs-testing in IE.

In 26247:

Style and positioning fixes to form elements in the Publish box:

• Make select element text #555 to match others
• Make Cancel links vertically align with buttons
• Make sure the spacing between buttons and cancel links is always consistent
• Override active button styles for responsive states so button size doesn't change when active
• Reduce font size of date select element to match date text inputs

Fixes #26082, props aubreypwd.

I think we've historically styled Cancel links as text rather than buttons to visually de-emphasize them, to make it more clear which is and isn't the primary action. For that reason I've used 26082-2.patch as the starting off point, with a few modifications:

• Removed the styling from the select element, since most browsers don't allow styling selects (except for text color).
• Set the line height on cancel links to 2 so they vertically align with buttons.
• Unified the amount of margin between buttons and cancel links.
• Added responsive adjustments where needed
