    Replace 'Return to Cart' link with cart icon in checkout header (#63678)

    * Replace 'Return to Cart' link with cart icon in checkout header

    Add woocommerce/cart-link block to the checkout header template,
    providing a cart icon as the navigation path back to cart. Change
    showReturnToCart default to false to remove the text link from
    the checkout action area near Place Order.

    * Add aria-label to cart-link block when content is empty

    When the cart-link block is rendered icon-only (empty content attribute),
    screen readers had no accessible name for the link. Add an aria-label
    fallback of "Cart" when the visible text is empty.
