Classic Editor: The "Skip to Editor" button is displayed even though the editor is not supported

[wildworks]

Related ticket: #29838

When the tab key is pressed after focusing on a post title, the "Skip to Editor" link button appears to move focus to the editor.

However, a post type may not support the editor. If the editor is disabled and this link button is accessed, focus will be lost.

### Summary
This PR resolves an issue where the "Skip to Editor" button is displayed even when the post type does not support the editor, leading to focus loss when the link is accessed.

### Changes Introduced
Added a conditional check using post_type_supports( $post_type, 'editor' ) to ensure the "Skip to Editor" link is displayed only if the editor is supported by the post type.

### Testing Instructions

1. Register a post type without the editor (exclude 'editor' in the supports array during registration).
2. Go to the "Add New" screen for the registered post type.
3. Verify that the "Skip to Editor" link is no longer displayed.
4. Test with post types that do support the editor to confirm the link appears and functions as expected.
