Note that only the overlay knows that the scene root is its parent, the scene root has no knowledge of that (i.e. the overlay is not a child of the scene root that you can see with `Parent.getChildrenUnmodifiable()`)

This makes it possible to interfere with the internal stylesheets of the button overlay. In order to reduce the chance of that happening, I've renamed all style classes to have the `-FX-INTERNAL-` prefix. This should hopefully make it clear enough that this is not public API.
