Join and Send are things you do, not states you are in

The accent fill is how this client says a thing is *on* — the mode tabs, the
chat you are in, the composer's own toggles. Join and Send are neither on nor
off: each does something and goes back to sitting there, so wearing the accent
they read as a state that was somehow always true.

Standard now, which in COSMIC is still a filled surface and still obviously a
button. The Discover row's Join goes with them, being the same button one
screen over — `Open` is that button with the other word on it and is no more
stateful. Connect, Accept policy and the Chats toggle keep the accent: the
first two are the one thing to do on the screen they are on, and the third
really is a state.
