Standard themed Button.

Description

Button is the standard themed button. It can contain text and an icon, and will display them according to the current Theme.

Example of creating a button and assigning an action when pressed by code:

func _ready():
    var button = Button.new()
    button.text = "Click me"
    button.connect("pressed", self, "_button_pressed")
    add_child(button)

func _button_pressed():
    print("Hello world!")

Buttons (like all Control nodes) can also be created in the editor, but some situations may require creating them from code.
