- Adds two global classes for `.ionic-link` (standalone) and
`.ionic-link-underline` (underline) appearances.
- The global classes apply when directly applied to an anchor element
(`a`) or when used on a parent container that renders a link internally.

**Usage**

Developers will need to import the link global stylesheet at this time
to leverage the following CSS classes.

```html
<!-- Basic Usage -->
<a href="#" class="ionic-link">Standalone</a>
<a href="#" class="ionic-link-underline">Underline</a>

<!-- Nested Usage -->
<div class="ionic-link">
  <a href="#">Standalone</a>
</div>
<div class="ionic-link-underline">
  <a href="#">Underline</a>
</div>
```

**Focus and Activated States**

Developers should apply the `ion-focusable` and `ion-activatable`
classes to the anchor elements to enable proper styling on a mobile
device. For web-only usages, the fallback `:focus` and `:active` pseudo
states will apply correctly.

```html
<!-- Basic Usage -->
<a href="#" class="ionic-link ion-focusable ion-activatable">Standalone</a>
<a href="#" class="ionic-link-underline ion-focusable ion-activatable">Underline</a>
```

### Design Changes

This section is areas of the implementation that are not consistent with
the design and why.

1. Font size: Link font sizing is inherited from its content. This is to
provide visual consistency when using a link within a paragraph or
existing text content. Links should not have an explicit font size, but
can be customized by the developer if a specific font size is desired.
2. Color: `currentColor` was used in place of
`$ionic-color-neutral-900`. This is to provide better visual consistency
when a link is used within content. Text color should be set on the body
or text content, which would apply neutral-900 in places where it is
applied.
3. The text underline offset in the designs is ~3px, but all of the
design implementation is on a 4px grid. We've landed on 2px for the
offset here.

Discussed with Design and these proposed changes were verbally approved.
