Better key-rendering for linux/windows (#25139)

Release Notes:

- linux: Render keystrokes more consistently

Before (note the added extra vertical padding, the + instead of the -,
and the misalignment between the text and the icons)

After (note the lack of those things):

/>


I still think we might want to go "vim-mode" always, because the capital
letters are pretty noisy, but that does mean the letters don't match
what's on the keyboard (though they *do* match the keyboard config
files)
