update server location hint

[jigar-f]

This pull request updates the description text for the smart routing mode in the server selection feature. The main change is replacing the old, less descriptive string with a new, more informative message that explains how Smart Location works. The new string is also added to the localization files to ensure proper translation support.

User interface improvements:

• Updated the smart routing mode description in server_selection.dart to use a more detailed and user-friendly message, replacing the previous string reference. [1] [2]

Localization updates:

• Added a new smart_routing_mode_description string to the English localization file (en.po) with a clear explanation of the Smart Location feature.
