Subject: [PATCH] Administration: Underline the in-text links in the Activity
 widget.

In the Recent Comments section of the Activity dashboard widget, the
comment author and post links sit inside a sentence and were
distinguished from the surrounding text by color alone, which fails
WCAG SC 1.4.1 Use of Color.

`#dashboard-widgets li a` removes the underline from every link in a
dashboard widget list item. Restore it for the links inside
`.comment-meta`, leaving the row action and footer links, which are
distinguishable by context, unchanged.

Fixes #66017.
