Update the delete site url to avoid dashboard redirect.

[StevenDufresne]

Fixes: #100723

Proposed Changes

Update the redirect URL when users click "Delete site" from /sites.

/settings/delete-site/${ site.slug } to /sites/settings/site/${ site.slug }/delete-site.

Why are these changes being made?

Currently, when a user clicks "Delete site" in the item menu, users are redirected to their wp.com/settings/delete-site/{site} which is then intercepted by redirectToolsIfRemoveDuplicateViewsExperimentEnabled introduced in #98875 and redirect back to /sites/settings/site/${ site.slug }/delete-site. The user then sees their wp-admin dashboard load for a second.

After

Considerations/Questions

The function redirectToolsIfRemoveDuplicateViewsExperimentEnabled relies on isRemoveDuplicateViewsExperimentEnabledto determine whether to redirect, seemingly only redirecting the treatment group.

I'm not sure if this PR should also verify whether the session is untangled or just redirect anyways.

@lsl or @okmttdhr Any thoughts?
