Description

#### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A [user requested](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subscriber-users-are-able-to-see-jetpack-dashboard-tab/) the ability to disable the Jetpack dashboard for subscribers.

#### Describe the solution you'd like
We should consider adding a setting that allows site administrators to remove the dashboard for subscribers.

We should also provide information about why they may want to enable the dashboard for subscribers. The dashboard and Jetpack connection allows subscribers to use SSO, receive notifications, and obtain a quick link for adding the site to their WordPress mobile app.

#### Describe alternatives you've considered
n/a

#### Additional context
* p9dueE-2qU-p2
* https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/pull/18763, which restricts the first connection to admins.
