Description
## Summary
When inserting a formatted read-time string, it would be useful to be able to format the default string format.
## Feature Request
Add a setting that would expect a string with a `time` placeholder that would format inserted read-time strings. In the `settings.json` file, you could set something like this:
```
"readTime.defaultString": "Article read time: ${time}"
```
Then when the string is inserted, the result would be:
`Article read time: 20 minutes`

Research direction
Start by locating where the extension reads settings and inserts the read-time string; the issue identifies settings.json and the read-time insertion path but no source files or tests. Trace the existing default string, then verify that a configured ${time} placeholder produces the requested formatted output.
