Description
When using the `JETPACK__SANDBOX_DOMAIN` constant, we add this little indicator in the Jetpack dashboard:

Maybe we could add an admin bar notice (a la Debug Bar plugin), or a frontend widget like on WordPress.com sandboxes.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the JETPACK__SANDBOX_DOMAIN entry point and the existing Jetpack dashboard indicator. Compare the admin bar notice and frontend widget options, then define one supported location and verify that sandbox users can clearly identify the site; no file or test is named in the issue.
