 Props to @swissspidy for noticing this while testing Plugin Dependencies.

 Currently, links with a `href` attribute and the `.button-disabled` class
 are still clickable.

 We should prevent the default `click` handling for elements with the
 `.button-disabled` class.

 While this appears to have been the case in earlier WordPress versions, it
 may be more apparent in the increased AJAX-ified experience added by the
 Plugin Dependencies feature.

 **Milestoning for 6.5 for awareness, though I welcome thoughts on whether
 this is something that needs to be handled in 6.5, or should wait until
 6.6.**

 == Testing Instructions
 These steps define how to reproduce the issue, and indicate the expected
 behavior.

 === Steps to Reproduce
 1. Navigate to `Plugins > Add New Plugin`.
 2. Click "Install Now".
 3. Once installed, click "Activate".
 4. 🐞 Once activated, click on the disabled "Active" button.

 === Expected Results
 When testing a patch to validate it works as expected:
 - ✅ The link does not work.

 When reproducing a bug:
 - ❌ The link still works despite the `.button-disabled` class being
 present.
