Fixed #35189 -- Improved admin collapsible fieldsets by using <details> elements.
This work improves the accessibility of the add and change pages in the admin site by adding <details> and <summary> elements to the collapsible fieldsets. This has the nice side effect of no longer requiring custom JavaScript helpers to implement the fieldsets' show/hide capabilities. Thanks to James Scholes for the accessibility advice, and to Sarah Boyce and Tom Carrick for reviews.
