 In [changeset:"60529" 60529]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="60529"
 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
