Fix nested Flexible Layout direction problem (#7637)

* Closes #7635
- More specific approach to CSS class application for column vs. row layouts.
- Added layout direction CSS classing to `c-fl-container__frames-holder`.
- Switched toolbar icon and titling for better parity with
'toggle' approach used elsewhere.
- Cleaned up duped property def in mixin.

* Addressing PR change requests
- Updated e2e test.
- New computed properties for layout direction.
- CSS code cleanup.

* fix selector in test

* fix more bad selectors

* fix changed title
