FLUID-2835: Toggle open and close for categories (i.e. Easier to see, easier to find) doesn't allow for manually closing

Description

Currently, it looks like the toggle can't be closed manually and is only closed when another category is open. I thing the behavior we want is for the user to choose when they open and close. Easier to see should still be the only one open by default but users may want to have everything open and scroll rather than opening and closing all the time.

  This is the nature of an accordion.

  Here is the comment from jquery UI about this.
  (http://jqueryui.com/demos/accordion/)

  NOTE: If you want multiple sections open at once, don't use an accordion

  An accordion doesn't allow more than one content panel to be open at the same time, and it takes a lot of effort to do that. If you are looking for a widget that allows more than one content panel to be open, don't use this. Usually it can be written with a few lines of jQuery instead, something like this:

  jQuery(document).ready(function(){
  $('.accordion .head').click(function() {
  $(this).next().toggle();
  return false;
  }).next().hide();
  });

  Or animated:

  jQuery(document).ready(function(){
  $('.accordion .head').click(function() {
  $(this).next().toggle('slow');
  return false;
  }).next().hide();
  });

  The "Cabinet" component that is in Engage may be useful for this

  do we still want to use the accordion?

  This is no longer an issue because the new designs do not have an accordion.
