Changes proposed in this Pull Request:

Changes included in #32611 for #32160 resulted in the WooCommerce > Home menu element changing to include an additional <span> element with a badge.

The existing k6 merchant request for wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-admin used this menu element to assert we had the correct request response. The aforementioned change therefore caused this assertion to fail.

This PR updates the assertion to not include the closing link tag, this means the request will be able to assert with the badge change but also will still be able to assert ok on older versions without the badge change.
