Twenty Twenty-one: List based widgets need style adjustments in the widget editor

[circlecube]

In Twenty Twenty-one, list based widgets need some styling adjustments in the widget editor to better match how they are displayed on the front end.

The archives, categories, meta, page list, and navigation menu are displaying list bullets in the editor but not on the front end.

I noticed that there are different differences between some of these widgets in the customizer and the front end too (and the widget editor).

Archives, Categories, and Page List widgets are displayed differently than in the widget editor and on the front end. They are without bullets here, but also without background color or matching link colors.

Meta and Menu widgets are displayed the same as they are in the editor, with bullets but they have proper colors to match the front end.

This PR moves the styles for ul and a from .widget-area to .widget.

Hi @circlecube

I've created a PR to fix it. I would appreciate any feedback.

This looks like it should work and makes sense to me. Will need testing to make sure nothing else s awry with these changes.

I don't have time to test right now but have intentions to look soon as I can, so if anyone has time to look in the meantime feel free!
