Message:

Admin/UI-Copy: reword some "we" usages.

This changes some admin-area, user-facing text, to better match the guidelines and recommendations set forth in the make/core handbook, specifically:

the word “we” should be avoided (...) unless its made very clear which group is speaking

(There are several more usages of "we" that will receive this same scrutiny in future commits/releases.)

Props audrasjb, johnbillion, marybaum, peterwilsoncc, sergeybiryukov, shital-patel.

Fixes #46057.
