Check isSubmitting independently of canSubmit.

When canSubmitWhenInvalid is true, canSubmit remains true during a pending submission. A second handleSubmit() call therefore skips this guard and can invoke onSubmit concurrently. The devtools submission override also bypasses the guard. Check isSubmitting before the canSubmit branch, then preserve the existing revalidation behavior for idle invalid forms. Add a regression case with canSubmitWhenInvalid: true.

Review comment at @packages/form-core/src/FormApi.ts around lines 2453 - 2456:
Update handleSubmit to check isSubmitting independently before the canSubmit
branch, preventing concurrent submissions even when canSubmitWhenInvalid is true
or a devtools override is active. Preserve the existing revalidation behavior
for idle invalid forms, and add a regression test covering a pending submission
with canSubmitWhenInvalid enabled.
