 #50177 adds XML sitemaps to core.

 Whilst it's a non-goal of that project to add user controls for XML
 sitemaps, checking the '_discourage search engines from indexing the
 site_' option (In ''Settings'' > ''Reading'') _does_ disable XML sitemaps
 entirely.

 Given this, we should update the wording around this option to make this
 clear - and whilst we're in there, we could also do a little housekeeping.

 I propose that we change the message to:

 **Search Engine Visibility**
 Discourage search engines from indexing this site (and disable WordPress'
 XML sitemaps)
 ''Note: It is up to search engines to honor this request, and this setting
 won't prevent them from crawling your website.''
