Subject: [PATCH] improve PITR message on scheduled backups (#43132)

## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.

YES

## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

studio message update

## What is the current behavior?

Under the scheduled backups
dashboard/project/_/database/backups/scheduled, the current message is
"Your project uses PITR and full daily backups are no longer taken.
They're not needed, as PITR supports a superset of functionality, in
terms of the granular recovery that can be performed."

The new message mainly addresses the word "superset" since it implies no
trade-offs. However, having teams/enterprise plan, customers lose access
to 2+ weeks of daily backups and are only limited by the selected PITR
recovery duration. New message: "Your project uses PITR, and full daily
backups are no longer taken. PITR lets you restore to a specific time
(down to the second) within your selected PITR retention period."
