Adds a Cancel link to the Network Admin site confirmation screens. Before this change they had only a submit button, so the only way back was the browser's back button.

As noted in comment:19, the explicit warning notice and the red "Delete Permanently" row action are already in trunk. A Cancel option is the remaining gap. This PR replaces the obsolete 26861.diff, which edited a msg query argument that no longer exists.

Testing instructions

  1. On a multisite install, go to Network Admin → Sites.
  2. Hover over a site and click Delete Permanently. Confirm that a Cancel link appears next to "Delete this site permanently".
  3. Click Cancel. You should return to the Sites list with your filters and paging kept, and the site should not be deleted.
  4. Open the confirmation URL directly, with no referer. Cancel should go to network/sites.php.
  5. Select several sites, choose Delete from Bulk actions, and click Apply. Confirm that Cancel appears and that clicking it deletes nothing.
  6. Repeat step 2 for Archive and Flag for Deletion.
