Domain Search: It's easy to accidentally click the first domain suggestion

Created a fix here: #96013

One issue might be that it also changes the behavior on the domain only flow: http://calypso.localhost:3000/start/domain/domain-only. This flow allows selecting multiple domains, the selection of one domain there is a much smaller commitment UX wise and easily undoable.

I'm leaning towards keeping this as-is for that flow at least. Thoughts?

Oh I see this was discussed already over here #94935 (comment)

Will leave it as is and see what Nomado say in review.
