fix(vale): propagate Google.Units=NO to product-specific Vale configs (#6917)

* Initial plan

* fix(vale): add missing Google.Units=NO to product-specific .vale.ini files

Duration literals like 7d, 24h, 30d were being flagged as errors when
running Vale with product-specific configs because those configs were
missing Google.Units = NO. Also adds Vale.Terms = NO,
write-good.TooWordy = NO, and TokenIgnores to match the root .vale.ini.

 ### Creating a Product-Specific Override
 
+> [!Important]
+> Product-specific `.vale.ini` files must include the same disabled rules as the
+> root `.vale.ini`. Rules disabled in the root config are **not** inherited by
+> product-specific configs. Omitting them re-enables the rules for those products.
+> For example, omitting `Google.Units = NO` causes duration literals like `7d`,
+> `24h` to be flagged as errors in product-specific linting runs.
