Fixes #3979

Summary

The popup message is changed from "Settings has been updated." to "Configuration has been updated." to avoid plural confusion with Settings vs Setting

This verbiage now becomes inconsistent with the rest of the messaging/errors.

I think a bigger review is needed

IMO, configuration or settings are about the same - but either "configuration has been updated" or "settings have been updated".

We have a test case in Evoq which was failed by QA executor with comment The message displayed is "Settings has been updated". Failing the execution as this is grammatically wrong.

After that another team member left the comment:

I would make the case here that the actual message is correct and the expected message in the test case is wrong.
"Settings have been updated" means that multiple settings have been updated which is not true here, there was only 1 setting updated which is "Allowable File Extensions".
"Settings has been updated" refers to the settings configuration as a unit, as in the "configuration (settings) has been updated".

And so I made a proposal to fix it this way:

To avoid confusion ("Settings" is treated as plural by non-native English speakers) we can change "Settings" to "Configuration" and leave "has" as-is.

We can decide here to change has -> have to avoid inconsistent verbiage impact with Settings -> Configuration

After discussion in the approvers meeting,

"Settings have been updated" is a more consistent solution to this verbiage issue and is consistent with the section of the Persona Bar we are working with.

The sentence "Settings has been updated." in popup message is confusing when adding additional Allowable File Extensions in Security Settings
