[v15.0/forgejo] Preserve focus on star/unstar & watch/unwatch buttons after click (#12033)

**Backport:** https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/11932

Fixes https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/11880.

Adding `hx-on::after-settle="this.querySelector('button').focus()"` restores focus after the content has been swapped and the DOM has been setled. I tried `hx-on::after-swap` first since it's mentioned more often in https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/issues/1869, but it didn't work.

The demo attached in `focus.mp4` runs through a series of repeated clicks on both buttons. You can hear the screen reader announce the button's new label when focus is restored.

### Documentation

- [ ] I created a pull request [to the documentation](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/docs) to explain to Forgejo users how to use this change.
- [ ] I did not document these changes and I do not expect someone else to do it.

### Release notes

- [x] This change will be noticed by a Forgejo user or admin (feature, bug fix, performance, etc.). I suggest to include a release note for this change.
- [ ] This change is not visible to a Forgejo user or admin (refactor, dependency upgrade, etc.). I think there is no need to add a release note for this change.

*The decision if the pull request will be shown in the release notes is up to the mergers / release team.*

The content of the `release-notes/<pull request number>.md` file will serve as the basis for the release notes. If the file does not exist, the title of the pull request will be used instead.
