Policy Skin Extraction

Why we did this

The policy page needs cards for allowed apps, datastores and vendors that look like policy cards but hold different content. That look was locked inside the policy card.

What happened

The border, shadow and ribbon became their own wrapper with five colour states, including a new light-blue one for allow-lists. The policy card uses it and looks the same.
