jquery-ui Datepicker showButtonPanel - `Today` button is not clickable

Issue is visible even on examples page - Today button is not clickable and does not set datepicker to current date (the one displayed by showButtonPanel showButtonPanel in api).

Looking at it again:

calendar does switch to current month if you had other month selected
no selection is made (if other date was selected, it stays selected)
Today button does look disabled Not sure how desirable this behavior is.

Thanks for the report. It does look disabled, indeed, but it are probably just unfortunate secondary button styles from what I see.

Since the issue is already in 1.12, given limited team resources it's not likely to be fixed by the UI team; see the project status at https://blog.jqueryui.com/2021/10/jquery-maintainers-update-and-transition-jquery-ui-as-part-of-overall-modernization-efforts/. PRs are welcome if they're not too complex.

CSS fixes are hard, though, as you may often miss another use case so it may not be worth changing at this point.
