Install: Match existing tonal style in setup-config.php by converting strings containing 'do not' and 'does not' to instead use contractions.

The 'do not' is converted to "don't" because "you" is third-person plural, and 'does not' is converted to "doesn't" because localhost is third-person singular. While both are "negative" contractions, we often write this way in WordPress to provide a friendlier tone. That's your English grammar lesson for the day.

Props ankit-k-gupta, iamfriendly.
Fixes #30317.
