[Feature Request]: 24px button variant.

[Laura-Marshall]

The problem

We are migrating 8 products (From the webMethods acquisition), and are looking to start adopting Carbon components in the 2H of the year.

Our teams currently use a smaller sized button that Carbon can't provide. This makes it hard to adopt the component without breaking experiences.

The solution

They currently heavily use a 24px button across many products. While some buttons we may wish to size up eventually, there are some uses of the button that would be very beneficial in tight spaces of the UI (E.g. a list with vertically positioned buttons next to corresponding items).

Having a smaller variant available in Carbon would allow the team to adopt the component much quicker.

The team also are currently using a 24px overflow menu, so we would benefit from that component too.

@asfordmatt Is happy to contribute if the team is open for this. We would likely need the component for our own benefit of adoption, but would love to contribute it wider if the team agrees.

The roadmap is for our products to adopt buttons by end of Q3.

I assume we would use a size value of "xs" for extra small.
