Title:
  Inconsistent use of haptic feedback across the UI

Bug description:
  Filing this bug for webbrowser-app, but it’s likely that it’s
  affecting other applications.

  I’m not aware of design guidelines regarding the use of haptics
  feedback when pressing/tapping UI elements on a touch device. In the
  UITK, it seems that anything that is a button (including anything
  inheriting from AbstractButton) will by default trigger a haptic
  response. List items are not button, so tapping them doesn’t trigger
  haptic feedback. However it’s pretty easy to build custom list items
  that embed an AbstractButton, and thus introduce inconsistency.

  An example of this inconsistent behaviour is the Settings screen in
  the browser app: the first two items ("search engines" and "homepage")
  are custom, they are haptics-enabled. The remaining items are not.

  We need clear design guidelines. Once we have them, we need to go
  through every UI element of the apps and fix them if they don’t comply
  with the guidelines.
