[Bug]: Show default expiration date on public share link creation

[sowjanyakch]

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️

• This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
• This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
• Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
• I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.

Bug description

A default 7-day expiration is set for shares, but many users don’t notice it when creating shares. This leads to issues when shares expire, especially if the link was shared widely.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a public share link.
2. Default expiration date is not shown in the share creation dialog.

Expected behavior

Default expiration date should be shown in the share creation dialog.
