Rename Sticky Post Field to Featured in Block Settings Sidebar

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, the WordPress editor uses the term "Sticky Post" to designate posts that should be highlighted. For the Tour Operator Plugin, we would like to utilize this functionality to feature specific content such as Tours, Accommodation, and Destinations. However, using the term "Sticky Post" can be confusing to our users, as it doesn't clearly convey the intent to mark content as featured.

Describe the solution you'd like
We propose renaming the "Sticky Post" field to "Featured" within the block settings sidebar of the WordPress editor for all relevant post types in the Tour Operator Plugin. This solution aims to make it more intuitive for users to mark content as featured using the existing sticky post functionality, ensuring consistency across the editor interface.

Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative approach would be to create a completely new custom meta field labeled "Featured." However, reusing the native sticky post functionality by simply renaming it provides a more streamlined solution that aligns with WordPress standards, minimizing custom code while delivering the desired feature.

Additional context
Renaming the sticky post field to "Featured" will make it clearer to users that this setting is meant to highlight key content across the Tour Operator Plugin's post types. The renamed field will still leverage the underlying sticky post functionality but will be presented in a way that is more user-friendly and aligned with the plugin's focus on featuring important content.
