fix: Open app urls externally instead of in Cypress-launched browser

[chrisbreiding]

• Closes "Learn more" link in reporter opens tab in Cypress browser rather than an external browser #24572

Additional details

Updates the AUT URL and "Learn more" command error links to open externally.

Links within the Cypress-launched browser should launch externally, especially since we don't recommend users browser within the Cypress browser and we will be closing extra tabs between tests and moving focus to the Cypress tab before commands.

Steps to test

AUT URL

• Run a test with a visit
• Click the AUT URL in the runner
• It should open in your default browser

Learn more links

• Run a test with a command failure like cy.viewport('foo')
• Click the "Learn more" link
• It should open in your default browser
