router: apply server actions in a similar way to router.refresh() (#53373)
## What?

I was investigating reports of server actions with `revalidatePath` /
`revalidateTag` not invalidating the client-side router cache. Managed
to reproduce the issue here:
https://github.com/timneutkens/server-actions-test (requires Vercel KV
to run).

While looking at the reducer I noticed a few things that seemed off:

- setTimeout to trigger another `dispatch` on the same reducer with the
fetched data. This means that it would not be part of the same React
Transition.
- redirects weren't applying the data that comes back from the server
(that allows for single hop navigation)
- prefetchCache was invalidated, but the router cache which is used for
back/forward navigation was not invalidated, causing back/forward to not
get the new data.
- all changes in the action-reducer mutate. The part that shouldn't
mutate was part of that setTimeout dispatch.

This PR aims to solve all of these by reworking the actions reducer to
be handled similarly to `router.refresh()`. Since `router.refresh()` was
already modeled to be similar to `revalidatePath('/')`.

The flow is now more like the other reducers:
- Fetch data
- Wait for the data to come back
- Apply the data to the cache and keep it in a mutable variable
- Return the new cache and otherwise values like the url

In particular the actions reducer handles a few extra specifics:
- Resolving the server action promise, so that the value is passed to
the application code waiting for the result.
- Applying redirects from `redirect()` calls.
- Invalidating the router cache

## Followup changes

- Currently when calling `revalidatePath('/dashboard')` the entire
router cache is invalidated instead of only `/dashboard` and further
down, this is not in scope for this PR but still has to be added.
- `notFound()`, I'm not sure how this is supposed to work exactly, it
doesn't really make sense to me to allow it in server actions.

Kudos @feedthejim for helping investigate for this PR 😌
