Resolves #6404

Summary

Updated the exclusion-list descriptions for the global and folder-specific settings. The global dialog now clarifies that the exclusion list applies to all accounts and synced folders, while the folder-specific dialog explains that it only applies to the current folder. The folder-specific dialog also displays the current folder name and includes a link to the global exclusion-list. Added tests to verify both descriptions and the link behavior.

Successfully ran AccountSettingsTest and built the desktop client. Manually verified the global and folder-specific dialogs, including that the link opens the global exclusion settings. Formatted the modified C++ files with clang-format and ran clang-tidy-21 on the modified C++ files.

…usion settings

Clarify that the global exclusion list applies to all accounts and
synchronized folders and the folder-specific list applies only to the selected folder.

Label folder-specific exclusion list with the
folder name and added a link to the global exclusion settings.

Add tests for both descriptions and the global-editor request.
