Bug 43432: Update ReportsExportLimit system preference description

The current description uses "records". It actually controls the
number of rows (or results) exported, which may or may not be records.

Additional updates were also made to improve the description notes.

1. Go to Administration > System preferences.
2. Search for the ReportsExportLimit system preference.
3. Note the use of "records" in the description - results returned may or
   may not necessarily be records.
4. Apply the patch.
5. Refresh the page.
6. Note the updated description:
   - "records" changed to "rows"
   - changes to the notes:
     . NOTE changed to bold, consistent with other descriptions
     . now uses an unordered list
     . active voice used
     . removed note about requiring a positive vale
     . added a note about the "Open in DataTables" option
7. Sign off 8-).

Current description:
Download a maximum of _____ records when downloading from the
reports module.
NOTE: Only a positive value will enforce a limit. A specific
limit in the report overrides this setting.

Updated description:
Download a maximum of _____ rows when exporting report results.
NOTE:
- Using LIMIT in a report overrides this setting.
- It does not limit results when using 'Open in DataTables'
  export options.
