Title: Use <button> elements instead of <a href="javascript:void(0)"> in remove_button plugin

Using `x` to add an interactive button that will be triggered by JavaScript is a little bit 90s. The `` element is a more appropriate click target in the remove_button plugin, and works identically. I have tweaked some of the styling so that the button doesn’t inherit any built-in browser styles.

I’ve been using this tweak in a project of mine since May and have tested in all major browsers back to IE9.
