Hi!

Tonight I was looking into making a PR to make the click effect on buttons optional via a setting. I think personally it looks pretty bad, but there are probably people that really like it.  
This is what I mean, you can see it by clicking and holding down on most any button

It looks even worse on some buttons;

I dont think the team is looking to remove it completely, so I was going to look into making a site setting, then accessing it via [the button scss](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/app/assets/stylesheets/common/components/buttons.scss).

I dont think there’s an easy file to just make a setting and give it a property. Is there? If not, how do I do it and then get it in the SCSS file?

Thanks for any help!
