Follow up for #552604: Adding new fields leads to a confusing "Field settings" form β†’

Problem/Motivation

As shown in that issue, the global settings tab has a warning that say the settings there cannot change, but some of them can, the site builder just needs to be *careful* and know what they are doing. The warning message is not accurate.

Proposed resolution

Make the warning message accurate.
Something like: "Some of these cannot change. Some you need to be sure, and know what you are doing." But with better phrasing.

Remaining tasks

Discuss exact wording.
Implement the change, provide patch
review patch
A screenshot with the fix would be nice.

User interface changes

Just a change to a warning message.

API changes

No api changes anticipated.
