Public bug reported:

On Ubuntu phones, buttons and other widgets are too small for
comfortable touch usage.

This is mostly about buttons like those seen in the shutdown dialog.
They feel too small (they are in fact 5.5mm high) to be able to reliably
hit with a finger, and that's on arale which has a large screen.

But our GUI elements vary in size a lot and we got it right in the many
menus/list views. There, each row is a nice comfortable height (10mm).

Compare to Android 5.1.1 on a hammerhead where buttons/list items are
12-15mm high, the larger size is more comfortable and faster to use.
