Inhibit all subscriptions operations when site is in Safe mode

[haszari]

Describe the bug

See also related report #5384

WCPay has a safe mode which kicks in when multiple sites are connecting to the same WCPay account.

WCPay Subscriptions are stored in Stripe (i.e. in WCPay backend). Any actions that change or edit or delete subscriptions should not be attempted on a site in safe mode.

The goal of this issue is to check for safe mode and prevent lossy actions from firing. This will reduce the chance of an accidental or duplicate site breaking subscriptions on the production / primary site.

To Reproduce

Details TBD. Here's a rough overview (I have not tested this)

• Set up a Woo site with WCPay and WCPay Subscriptions enabled.
• Back up the site/database and restore on another host or development environment.
• WCPay safe mode should kick in – the site is a suspected duplicate of a production site.
• Any subscription actions will potentially affect subscriptions from production site. For example:
  • Cancel a subscription on dev site or delete a user.
  • Change payment method for a subscription.
  • Upgrade or downgrade a subscription.
  • 🚨 Any of these actions could affect subscriptions from the production site.

Screenshots

Expected behavior

Any destructive actions, or actions that change production data, should be disabled in safe mode.

@haszari is this issue on team Helix's radar? I am triaging the WC Pay backlog, and I am not certain if you are going to handle it.

@zmaglica it's in our maintenance backlog yes, though no specific ETA or commitment to implement this.
