Store onboarding: Fix issue showing tasks in full view

[itsmeichigo]

Closes WOOMOB-1733

Description

Context
Recently we added the functionality to switch to direct requests with remote sites for Jetpack sites that support application passwords.

Upon logging to the app or first switching to a store, the app would need to check if the site supports application passwords first. While that is in progress, all requests are made with Jetpack proxy by default.

Problem

There's an issue with the GET /wc-admin/onboarding/tasks API:

• When triggered with Jetpack proxy, it would return a list of tasks including completed and incomplete ones.
• When triggered directly with the remote site, it would just return an empty array.

On the app, we load the store onboarding card early upon logging in or switching stores. When this happens before the app could finish determining application password support in the site, the onboarding cards are loaded with Jetpack proxy.

When the user taps on view all tasks, the onboarding cards are loaded again. When this happens after the app determines that application password is supported and network switching is eligible, onboarding cards are loaded directly with the remote sites.

The inconsistent data causes a glitch: one can see 2 incomplete tasks on the dashboard screen but then sees an empty view on the full list.

Solution

To fix the above issue, I'm sending the loaded tasks from the dashboard card to the full view. I'm keeping the original logic in #9185 to fall back to loaded tasks when reloading tasks returns an empty list.

We'll need to contact someone on the backend side to look into the empty list returned from direct requests.

Test Steps

1. Log out of the app if you haven't already.
2. Log in to a store with incomplete tasks using WPCom credentials. For simplicity, use our shared CIAB store or a JN store with Jetpack connected.
3. Once the dashboard completes loading, confirm that the Store setup dashboard card shows that there are 2 tasks.
4. Tap on View all tasks and confirm that the full view shows the tasks instantly.
