Remove Add-On request link to connect.formidableforms.com

[stephywells]

Summary

The Add-Ons page had a link called "Request Add-On." It sent users to connect.formidableforms.com. That site is going away, so this link had to go too.

This PR removes the link in two places:

• The small text at the bottom of the Add-Ons list: "Not finding what you need? Request Add-On."
• The button that shows up when a search finds no add-ons.

It also removes the code that built that link's web address, since nothing uses it anymore.

Test plan

• Open the Add-Ons page in WP Admin. Check that the old "Request Add-On" text and link at the bottom are gone.
• Search for an add-on that does not exist. Check that the "No add-ons found" message shows, but no button appears under it.
• Run the Cypress test for the Add-Ons page and confirm it passes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Removed the “Request Add-On” link and button from the add-ons page.
  • When no add-ons match the selected filters or search, the page now displays only the empty-state message.
  • Add-on category filtering and count displays remain unchanged.

• Tests

  • Updated add-ons page checks to verify that the request option is hidden in empty states.
