Product Query: [FSE] Polish the UX for the “Inherit query from template” switch #42540

Description

@sunyatasattva

woocommerce/woocommerce-blocks#7382 introduces the ability for the Product Query block to inherit the global query. We had to remove the original Query Loop switch, and replace with our own, because the behavior needs to be customized to our needs. The good news is that we can also change the experience around this specific setting. In particular, the label and the help text from the Query Loop block say:

**Inherit query from template**
Toggle to use the global query context that is set with the current template, such as an archive or search. Disable to customize the settings independently.

This wording seems to be sub-optimal, both in the context of the product-centric experience, and in general is very technical lingo. We should at the very least come up with a better label and help text for this control, and also decide the overall user experience (will it be a switch, or a preset? for example).
