ButtonComponent: routerLink accessible even when button is disabled

[TheTiGuR]

Describe the bug

With a p-button component, if the button is disabled, and has a [routerLink], the routerLink is still accessible, meaning the button, even though appearing to be disabled, is still clickable and will route to the routerLink as intended (but without the actual functionality of the button click happening.

Sample Code:
<p-button label="Next Step" icon="fa-solid fa-chevron-right" iconPos="right" [routerLink]="next" [disabled]="!isFormValid() || !!uniqueNameErrMsg" />

In this example, if the form is invalid, the button, appearing disabled, can be clicked and will then go to the 'next' route.

This error was not happening in PrimeNG 17.17, but IS happening in 17.8.2
