Description

### What

https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/18581859/178109975-06369a98-804a-4144-becc-e183a4ed0f91.mp4

Make WordPress.com account creation for **One-Time Donation** optional.

### Why

I understand this is required for Monthly/Yearly Donations to give people access to cancel the recurring payment. However, making it optional for people making one-time donations will make the transaction easier and faster.

A user came on chat today about this feature and requesting to get that prompt removed.

Research direction

Start by locating the Donations Block and Payments Block flows that prompt one-time donors to create a WordPress.com account. Compare that behavior with the monthly and yearly donation paths, where account access is needed for cancellation. Done means one-time donors can complete payment without the prompt while recurring donation behavior remains unchanged.
