Upgrade/Install: Restore Activate button's href native behavior.

Restores the Activate button's href native behavior by changing the AJAX activation handler introduced in 6.5.0. It restores the pre-6.5 behavior of clicking the "Activate" button, i.e. navigates the user to the button's href (i.e. to the plugins.php UI).

Why?

Feedback was given after shipping [57545] in 6.5.0 (but was unknown during the development and testing cycles) revealed significant impacts for plugins who's users valued the onboarding / configuration experiences.

6.5.3's [58081] and [58083] added a new user action / step to the workflow. Though helpful, it did not fully resolve the impacts.

For the minor, this commit seeks to restore only the "Activate" button's href pre-6.5 native behavior to resolve the regression.

The next phase of the Add Plugins workflow can then continue in a major release to gain the benefits of a full major to move it from ideation through the development phases. (See #61040). The questions of redirect, how / should configuration be in the workflow, etc. can best be explored and experimented with in a major.

Follow-up to [57545], [58081], [58083].
