Support button/link has incorrect padding in active state

[takshil]

The "Support" link on any plugin page has incorrect padding applied when in the active state. The padding appears unevenly distributed.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Visit any plugin(Ex: ​https://wordpress.org/plugins/sync-content-from-notion/)
2. Click on the "Support" link to activate it
3. Observe the active state styling with excessive/incorrect padding

### Description
Fixes the Support link/button having incorrect padding on plugin pages.

Trac Ticket: https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8147

### Problem
The "Support" link on plugin pages (e.g., [vscode-file://vscode-app/Applications/Visual%20Studio%20Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/code/electron-browser/workbench/workbench.html https://wordpress.org/plugins/sync-content-from-notion/]) had asymmetric padding, with the right padding missing. This caused the active state to appear visually unbalanced.

Before	After

Tested on a plugin page and confirmed the Support link padding looks consistent in the active state now.

Minor suggestion: the padding could be simplified to padding: 0.64rem 1.25rem; for readability (same computed values).

Reviewed and tested the GitHub PR linked above. The fix resolves the uneven padding on the Support link active state and looks good from my testing.

Thanks @manhphuc for looking into this. Made the change. ✅

Hi @dd32, just checking in on this one, happy to rebase or make any changes if needed! 🙂

As this dates back to ​http://meta.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5399 I feel like this is intentional.

While the screenshot above clearly shows the padding would be better equal, it's not in the context of the greater page, the purple box added clear shows that the text is right aligned; except the visual download button which is aligned with the text indented like a button should be. The support link is a link, and not a button.

Thanks for the context, @dd32 ! I see your point about the link vs. button distinction. Happy to close this if the current behavior is by design, or adjust the approach if there's a middle ground as I think the "onclick" behaviour looks a bit out of place.
