feat(plugin-form-builder): change checkbox label from 'Default Value' to 'Checked by default' (#15229)

MariusMatu · paulpopus · web-flow · commit b3d20542d41e · 2026-04-09T14:27:32.000+01:00
### What?
Changed the default value label text in form builder for type checkbox.

### Why?
The old label text was confusing as in combination with a checkbox users
think they can toggle if they want a defaultValue or not. It's now
called "Checked by default" to make clear users can check if the
checkbox should be checked by default.
