[I] `bounded_order_preserving_variants` configuration setting is confusingly named [arrow-datafusion]

   ### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?
   
   While debugging an issue upgrading our code to use DataFuson, @ozankabak  pointed me at the following config: https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/pull/7671#discussion_r1341636365
   
   This setting (I think) controls if the DataFusion planner should prefer using the existing sort order or trying to maximize paralleilsm using repartition and re-sorting
   
   It turns out to be the right one, but I don't think I would have found it without @ozankabak 's suggestion
   
   ### Describe the solution you'd like
   
   I would like to more easily understand what the setting does from an end-user perspective  -- with some better docs and a different name (`prefer_existing_sort`)
   
   ### Describe alternatives you've considered
   
   We could also just update the docs and leave the name alone
   
   ### Additional context
