Site Editor: View > View Site opens incorrect URL.

[peterwilsoncc]

Description

In the Site Editor, the View > View site drop down opens the URL of the WordPress install (site_url()) rather than the URL of the website (home_url()).

Follow up to #42331

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. Create a sub-directory install of WordPress
2. Visit the site editor
3. From the view dropdown, click view site
4. Observe the window opens with the WordPress install sub directory included.

Note: I discovered this using chassis/chassis, if you have both Vagrant and VirtualBox installed, you may wish to use Chassis to set up an environment quickly.

Please ignore the apparently incorrect WP version in the site's title. I noticed this while testing during the WordPress 6.1 release.
