Feat(Subscription Purchase): update CDot link

Michael Lunøe requested to merge 330608-mlunoe-direct-users-to-legacy-login-page into master

What does this MR do and why?

Describe in detail what your merge request does and why.

This MR updates the "unlinked" Customers Portal account alert to point the users to the legacy sign-in page, as opposed to the single sign-on page. Using the single sign-on login will result in the same error on the Customers Portal side: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/customers-gitlab-com/-/issues/5819+, so directing users to log in via the legacy sign-in page avoids this situation.
