fix(test): prevent infinite Cypress hang in StubWindowNAssert (#42201)

## Description

`DeployModeHelper.StubWindowNAssert()` stubs `window.open` with a
`callsFake` that sets `window.location.href = url`, navigating the
current Cypress tab to an external docs URL (docs.appsmith.com). If that
external site is slow or unreachable from CI, Cypress blocks
indefinitely — there is no built-in timeout for cross-origin page loads.

Observed in CE run
[33826464528](https://github.com/appsmithorg/appsmith/actions/runs/33826464528),
shard 27: `GoogleSheets_spec.ts` test 2 ("Bug #25004 - Verify Google
Sheets documentation opens") hung for **3h49m** before the 6h GH runner
default timeout cancelled the job. The same spec completed in ~1min on
Sep 1, 2, 3, and 7 — the hang was triggered by external site
unreachability, not a code change.

### Root cause

The stub redirects the current page to docs.appsmith.com via
`window.location.href = url`. Cypress waits for `document.readyState ===
"complete"` before executing the next queued command. If the external
page never finishes loading, Cypress hangs forever — no timeout applies
to cross-origin page loads.

### Fix

Stub `window.open` without any navigation. Assert the stub was called
with the expected URL string (via `stub.firstCall.args[0]`) instead of
navigating to the external page and checking `cy.url()`. This:
- Tests the same intent: "clicking Learn More calls `window.open` with
the correct docs URL"
- Eliminates the external dependency entirely
- Is deterministic — stub assertions are synchronous

### Impact

All callers of `StubWindowNAssert` benefit:
- `GoogleSheets_spec.ts` (the spec that hung)
- `DSDocs_Spec.ts` (9 callers)
- `Snowflake_Basic_Spec.ts`
- `Table.ts` → `AssertURLColumnNavigation`
- EE: `SCIMConfigResourcesViaUI_spec.ts`

No caller depends on the navigation side-effect — each either ends the
test afterward or continues with actions on the (unchanged) current
page.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **Bug Fixes**
  - Improved validation for links that open in a new window.
- Updated documentation link handling to use the current SMTP
documentation destination.
  - Prevented link checks from navigating away from the current page.

- **Tests**
- Streamlined datasource documentation checks for more reliable test
execution.
  - Improved compatibility with existing link-validation scenarios.
