Improve the copy in the 'Default artifact expiration' section in the instance-level settings
Problem statement
The copy and the help text in the 'Default artifact expiration' section on the Admin area >> CI/CD settings page does not provide with a very clear instruction on how to format the value to be entered and also does not clearly define the scope of the configuration.

Proposal
In a comment on the design here, @marcel.amirault proposed the following change to the copy (drop the s and add time to the title, and improve the detail text):
-
Default artifact expiration time
Set the default expiration time for job artifacts in all projects. Set to 0 to never expire artifacts by default. If no unit is written, it defaults to seconds. For example, these are all equivalent:
3600,60 minutes,one hour.
