Message:

Site Health: Add a test and the related notice for the Search Engine Visibility setting.

This changeset adds a new Site Health test to make site owners more aware when search engines are discouraged from indexing their sites.
It also increases the visibility of the related Dashboard widget notice.

Changes:

• Adds a new Site Health test under the "Privacy" category to check whether search engines are discouraged
• Displays "recommended" status when search engines are discouraged, with clear messaging to review settings
• Provides a direct link to the Reading Settings page to change this option
• Use a red/alert color to the dashicon used on the Dashboard widget notice
