Summary of Changes
Change link to google
Testing Instructions
The current link is https://www.google.com/recaptcha which google has now redirected to promote their v3 captcha project which Joomla does not support.
This is confusing for users.
Expected result
When linked clicked it goes to something helpful - like https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin where a user can actually "get a site and secret key for your domain" like the preceding text of the help states.
Actual result
https://www.google.com/recaptcha redirects to unhelpful https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/v3.html

Think like a user not a developer.
Sending them to a login page is simply wrong. A % of them will even try to login with their joomla username and password
so you want to send them to a page full of developer integration documentation? ... #facepalm

The reCatcha plugin has this wording: To use this for new account registration, go to Options in the User Manager and select CAPTCHA - reCAPTCHA as the CAPTCHA but that is missing from the Invisible reCaptcha plugin. Is that significant? Either way, I think it should say After entering key data here, go to.... Also, the link does lead to a Google login page or the Google Administrator page if logged in. The link in the Help page is to the Developers Guide: https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/intro
I have changed the Help screen text to comply with the intended usage.

In the months this sat unmerged, Google have updated their website again and links that point to https://www.google.com/recaptcha/ are now redirected by google to https://www.google.com/recaptcha/about/ which now promotes their new reCAPTCHA Enterprise service, and provides a compares table of v2 and v3 against it.
Therefore there is no need for this PR any longer.
Another PR "could" be made to replace https://www.google.com/recaptcha/ with https://www.google.com/recaptcha/about/ ut I cannot be bothered, especially as google have already redirected it themselves.
