Clarify wording of permissions modal when creating a web data stream

Feature Description

When setting up Analytics with GA4, if the selected GA4 property does not have an associated web data stream, or does not have one that matches the URL of the WP site then Site Kit will automatically create one. This happens automatically when creating a GA4 property as well, but since the two actions require the same scopes, the user only sees the prompt for creating a new property and is not prompted again for the creation of the web data stream.

However, if a user was to select a different GA4 property after different scopes had been granted that did not include the on-demand analytics.edit scope, then the web data stream would still be created automatically (again assuming one did not exist with a matching URL) which would then prompt the user for permissions to create it. This could be a confusing experience for the user because Site Kit has no language around web data streams at all – we only show the measurement ID in the settings screen.

The language for the on-demand request for scopes for creating a web data stream should be updated to use consistent language to reference a measurement ID instead (exact wording TBD).

@tofumatt in this case, I think future tense is more correct because the user is about to be prompted to grant permissions. If we say they need to do it (now) it may be confusing that there is some action they need to take before they can proceed, which would arguably be more confusing since they need to proceed to grant the permissions. This is also consistent with the existing language in the other datapoint scope messages as well as account provisioning: https://github.com/google/site-kit-wp/blob/37e9cad8e29c8fa83bd8337bf9403f80243d42a4/assets/js/modules/analytics/components/common/AccountCreate/index.js#L189-L190

If we do want to reconsider the language around these prompts, let’s revisit that in a dedicated issue since this is different than what was done previously regarding module settings/selections. Also see https://github.com/google/site-kit-wp/issues/3623

TL;DR let’s keep the original wording for now and then I think this can move forward since the original IB was already consistent with that.
