`aria-haspopup="true"` is really intended to signal that an ARIA `menu` will be opened on activation. as a result, some assistive technologies will announce controls with `aria-haspopup="true"` as a menu or menu item (e.g. JAWS and NVDA). In addition, `aria-haspopup` seems to trigger a bug in Edge/Narrator where the `aria-expanded` state is not correctly announced at the moment when `aria-haspopup` is present. This now makes the dropdown button more like a generic disclosure widget control - see also https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices-1.2/examples/disclosure/disclosure-navigation.html01

Closes #33528
(Note this was already done at some early point in v5, with no adverse effect. As this only really affects the documentation/examples/tests, not the actual code, this is a non-breaking change)
