Change the wording of the addMultipleToDiscussionWarning

Jamie Reid requested to merge change-addMultipleToDiscussionWarning-wording into master

What does this MR do?

The warning dialog that pops when >10 users are added to a discussion can be subject to misinterpretation. "Proceed with caution." may be misinterpreted by a user as a warning about GitLab's ability to handle such an action. To support this belief; the first two hits in google for a search of gitlab "proceed with caution" are entitled "scary warning message".

Our understanding is that the intent of this message is more about ensuring healthy communication practices and providing users a warning that a lot of users may be notified when the action is taken.

I'm not convinced that our suggested re-wording is the best; alternative suggestions are more than welcome...
