Alerts w/ links update

[flacoman91]

Ans said about the Alert with links component:

One potential issue I'd flag with this is if you want to use other link attributes (target, rel, etc.), or add different icons (e.g. a download icon), all those additional permuations have to be built into the links attribute. I wonder if a better model may be to pass in a separate link component, e.g.:

<Alert
  message="Information alert"
  status="info"
>
  This is the explanation of the alert.
  <Link href="/">This is a link below the explanation</Link>
  <Link href="/" iconRight="external-link">This is a link below the explanation</Link>
</Alert>

Updating the Alert component to accept <ListLink instead of a configurable object.
Remove alert-link component bc it seems like a redundant wrapper to the Link

To test, compare:

vs prod

everything should appear the same
