Update group/project settings nav items to reference work items
Issue: Update settings nav items to reference work items (#580271)
What does this MR do and why?
The update affects project settings pages, group settings, navigation menus, and help documentation links. When the feature flag is active, users will see "Work items" labels and descriptions that emphasize flexible planning and tracking capabilities, while maintaining the existing "Issues" terminology when the flag is disabled.
The changes also update help text to better describe the enhanced functionality, with work items being described as tools to "plan and track work with flexible objects and views".
