Description
### Apache Airflow version
2.6.0
### What happened
Hi team, we just upgraded to 2.6.0 and now I cannot find the TaskInstance Context menu (detailed [here](https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/ui.html#task-instance-context-menu) in the docs). In the new UI, how do I force a task to run via web ui and ignore any dependencies?
### What you think should happen instead
_No response_
### How to reproduce
Open the UI click on a task instance, try to find the old Task Actions interface.
### Operating System
ubuntu20.04
### Versions of Apache Airflow Providers
_No response_
### Deployment
Docker-Compose

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the TaskInstance Context menu and the old Task Actions interface described in the issue and linked UI documentation. Determine how the 2.6.0 UI is expected to expose running a task while ignoring dependencies, then verify that the resulting UI action works for a task instance and matches the documented behavior.
