[REF] website: remove url from js file tours

Enterprisemasterwebsite

This update removes unnecessary URL redirects from website tour scripts. These redirects were causing delays and were redundant since the same functionality is handled elsewhere. This change streamlines the onboarding process and improves website performance.

Original PR description

The URL key in a tour's JavaScript file implies a redirect to that URL once the browser opens. If this URL is the same as the one used in `start_tour()` (Python), then it serves no purpose. It's even detrimental because it implies a redirect (and therefore a waste of time). The URL key in the JS file is (for now) only used for onboarding tours. This key will be defined later in the .xml file for onboarding tours.

That's why we're removing the URL keys from the registries here.

[REF] document*: move tests post install

PR #102430

Enterprisemasterdocuments

This update streamlines the testing process for the Documents module by moving tests to run after the initial installation. This change reduces the overall testing time, improving development efficiency. It addresses a historical practice of running tests during installation, which was no longer necessary.

Original PR description

Some tests where running at install by default for historical reasons, this commit moves them post install to speedup testing time.
