Disabled link cleanup (#34886) 
* Disabled link cleanup

per https://www.w3.org/TR/html-aria/#docconformance

> It is NOT RECOMMENDED to use `aria-disabled="true"` on an `a` element with an `href` attribute.
>
>NOTE
>If a link needs to be "disabled", remove the `href` attribute.

This PR removes the unnecessary `href="#"`, `tabindex="-1"`, and `aria-disabled="true"` from disabled links in both docs pages and examples. `aria-disabled="true"` *is* kept for disabled link-based buttons (that have `role="button"`) as there it's appropriate to use (you *want* to convey to assistive technologies that this thing you're claiming is a button is also disabled at the moment)

Further, the PR extends the "Link functionality caveat" to show the "proper" way (removing `href` and adding `.disabled` class only) to disable a link, but then explains what to do if that's not possible (and then keeps an example with all the traditional `href="#" tabindex="-1" aria-disabled="true"`, but explains clearly that it's not ideal). Same sort of explanation is also added to the pointer event utilities page

docs Interactions Utility classes that change how users interact with contents of a website. utilities false

Text selection

Change the way in which the content is selected when the user interacts with it.

{{< example >}}

This paragraph will be entirely selected when clicked by the user.

This paragraph has default select behavior.

This paragraph will not be selectable when clicked by the user.

{{< /example >}}

Pointer events

Bootstrap provides .pe-none and .pe-auto classes to prevent or add element interactions.

{{< example >}}

This link can not be clicked.

This link can be clicked (this is default behavior).

This link can not be clicked because the pointer-events property is inherited from its parent. However, this link has a pe-auto class and can be clicked.

{{< /example >}}

The .pe-none class (and the pointer-events CSS property it sets) only prevents interactions with a pointer (mouse, stylus, touch). Links and controls with .pe-none are, by default, still focusable and actionable for keyboard users. To ensure that they are completely neutralized even for keyboard users, you may need to add further attributes such as tabindex="-1" (to prevent them from receiving keyboard focus) and aria-disabled="true" (to convey the fact they are effectively disabled to assistive technologies), and possibly use JavaScript to completely prevent them from being actionable.

If possible, the simpler solution is:

  • For form controls, add the disabled HTML attribute.
  • For links, remove the href attribute, making it a non-interactive anchor or placeholder link.
