Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Fix empty row-title link in Entries table's Form column
When the Form column is the Entries list's action column (ID/Entry Key
columns hidden, as on the "all forms" view), its value was wrapped in a
second, nested pointing at the form itself. Browsers implicitly
close the outer row-title anchor as soon as they hit that nested tag,
leaving it with no accessible name -- an axe link-name violation on
every row, and doubly so when the entry's form no longer exists (the
inner link was empty too).
Use the plain-text form label instead of the linked version whenever
this column is acting as the row's own action column, matching the
existing non-editor fallback path. The label already handles a
missing/unnamed form with "(no title)" text.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Also fix the same nested-anchor bug on the Post column
Self-review turned up the identical defect on the 'post_id' ("Post")
column: post_edit_link() builds its own , which breaks the outer
row-title link the same way edit_form_link() did when this column ends
up as the row's action column. Same fix, same fallback text for a
deleted post.
