Attachment: Bug 2056160 - Use aria-expanded attribute for the urlbar result-menu button's open-state styling. r?daleharvey!

Converting the result menu to panel-list (Bug 2039292) stopped the [open] attribute from being set on the menu's anchor button. panel-list already reflects the open state on the anchor via aria-expanded, so use that in those rules (it's also what moz-button.css does).
