fix(material/button-toggle): use solid border color (#14253)

Usually the theme divider color is rgba, which means that it can look differently, depending on the color behind it. As a result, the border of a selected button toggle is different from a deselected one, because its background color is darker. These changes switch to using a solid color to ensure that we have always have a consistent border.

These changes also add a new theming utility function that converts an rgba color to hex, if the consumer knows the background. We've been using it in a couple of places already, but now it's being moved out into a reusable function.

(cherry picked from commit 175937e)
