In the latest version (tried latest 7.3 ga) the clay button taglib added a type="button" by default if no type was provided, but now in master this is no longer true. This is a breaking change

 

Steps to reproduce:

1. Remove this line: https://github.com/liferay/liferay-portal/blob/7b685ec5a296582b7052d81fc5d90481a116fc33/modules/apps/journal/journal-web/src/main/resources/META-INF/resources/article/template.jsp#L45
2. deploy journal-web
3. Go to web content 
4. Create a web content, give it a title and publish
5. Edit again go to the sidebar -> default template section
6. Inspect the preview button (the one with an eye)

Actual result

type="button" is not added

Expected result

type="button" should be added as before
