Title: More distinguished state of toggleable buttons

Use darker colors for .btn.active (i.e. pressed) state when button is set toggleable via *data-toggle="button..."*. Also after button is pressed it becomes brighter on *:hover*, *:focus*, *:active*.

So when button is in the released state hovering over makes it darker as default, but after clicking on it the color becomes even darker and it easy to see that the button is pressed. On the other side, hovering over the pressed button makes it brighter and clicking on it brightens button further.

This not only helps out to see easier the current button state but also shows which way the state will change.
