Issue is that the operator acts on the active button, and also uses that in the
poll. So the actually active button would affect the poll of a different
button. For the superimposed icons we need to be able to execute these polls
properly for non-active buttons.
This enables temporarily overriding the active button for lookups via context.
While a bit of a hack it makes sense conceptually.

`uiBut` contained a variable that was only used for these hot-key
buttons. This may also help getting rid of the `UI_BUT_IMMEDIATE` flag,
which is also only used for this button type. We are running out of
available bits for flags, so this would be useful.

The commits are causing issues with MSVC, see D14926. I'm working on a
different solution, but that will need some work.
The code to compare buttons from the previous to the current frame, to
see if they match (an thus should keep the same state) was quite
generic, and didn't allow much flexibility/customization. For some
cases this isn't enough, and a more specific comparison is needed. Say
if some buttons don't actually store comparable data themselves, only
via the button context. This was the case in D14653.
It was possible to set context pointers for buttons via the layout, but
not for buttons in places where the layout system wasn't used (where
buttons are placed manually). This is needed for buttons in the
Outliner, see D14653.
