Description

Description

Update L$ Buy to link to accounts billing instead of lindex.
Update notification to match new link

Old link and AddPaymentMethod notification:
https://secondlife.com/my/lindex/buy.php
Image

New link:
https://accounts.secondlife.com/billing_information
There is no 'place order' there, so notification needs to be updated.

Scenario:
have no billing information on file, click 'buy L$', click 'get started'.

Research direction

Update the destination and notification so they match the accounts billing page and its available actions, then verify the no-billing-information scenario described in the issue.
