Better indicate external link behavior #2531

Description

@aviannamiller

Links that open in new tabs are currently indicated by external link icons. It is best practice to indicate if a link opens in a new tab, so we should be supplying an additional label accessible to screen readers ("Opens in new tab"). A tooltip that reads the same would also be appropriate, ultimately.

This should mainly involve targeting all links associated with .o-icon-external icons, but there are other cases, such as "View" buttons within page actions, which do not currently indicate external behavior visually, either.
