Loading an unarchived period might trigger error when visits log is disabled #19291

When the visits log is disabled globally or in website setting, loading reports for a period that has not yet been archived (without browser trigger), might currently show the error "Visits log is deactivated in website settings..."

The problem seems to be that the raw data check might try to perform a request to Live.getLastVisitsDetails in https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/blob/6ab9923d6324c3d98765881e525d7ecf8ba9d831/plugins/CoreHome/vue/src/ReportingPage/ReportingPage.vue#L275-L279

That method is not available with deactivated visit log.

We should check if we can use or create another API method that provides the needed information, or maybe avoid the call completely if it doesn't make sense in that case.

Nice find 👍 I actually ran into this issue recently and by the time I wanted to create a bug report I couldn't reproduce it anymore. Likely because data had been archived by then vs in the beginning it hadn't. And DEV-2830 is probably the same issue.
