Explain the "Keep Archived Articles" account setting better

1. Environment

• Device: [Pixel 4a 5G]
• OS: [Android 13]
• APP: [0.9.8]

2. Describe the bug

In the ReadYou Account Settings page, there is a setting for "Keep Archived Articles". This toggle allows for the app to discard articles that were read before some user-defined threshold (the default is 30 days).

This setting works, but it's easy to misunderstand its purpose as "deleting read articles PUBLISHED before the user-defined threshold". This is not the case, and could be explained better through localizations.

@Ashinch Just as an fyi, I'm quite busy right now, so don't expect a magic PR to fix this issue like the last few :joy:

@mbestavros I will pay attention to it 🥲

@Ashinch I've realized this was a complete misunderstanding of the "Keep Archived Articles" feature on my part. It DOES work, though not in the way I thought it would.

I thought that setting "Keep Archived Articles" to, say, 7 days would delete all read articles published more than 7 days ago. That isn't the case: instead, the app will delete articles 7 days after I have read them, regardless of when they were published.

Now that I understand the behavior better, I think it makes sense, though I do think it could be explained better in the UI. A quick suggestion would be to rename the "Keep Archived Articles" option to something like "Auto-delete articles after reading". That would make the timeline a lot more clear. (That suggestion would also necessitate changing the "Always" option to "Never" as well, since we'd be going from "always keep" to "never delete".)
