#47487: Classic Editor plugin link and link target

 The Editor shows following warning when JavaScript is disabled:
 **''The block editor requires JavaScript. Please enable JavaScript in your
 browser settings, or try the Classic Editor plugin.''**

 The "Classic Editor plugin" texts links to the classic editor in the
 Plugin repository. If you click on the link you will be redirected to the
 plugin respository and will leave the WordPress admin without any warning.

 **To reproduce**
 Steps to reproduce the behavior:

 1. Disable Javascipt
 2. Create a post
 3. See the message
 4. Click on "Classic Editor plugin"

 **Expected behavior**
 I wouldn't expect to leave the admin area without any warning.

 There are two alternative behaviors I could think of:
 1. The link opens in a new window/tab.
 Therefore we need to add target="_blank" to the link.

 2. Instead of linking to the respository, we could link to the plugin-
 install.php with the classic editor pre-selected. (if this is possible)
