Fixes #48550

Summary

PR #46025 added the Mouse Without Borders 'Refresh connections' action to Quick Access, but it used the generic module label (\ModuleHelper.GetModuleLabelResourceName(moduleType)) which returns 'Mouse Without Borders'.

This was confusing because the Quick Access item appeared to be a link to open the MWB settings page, but it actually only triggers a reconnect/refresh of connections.

Fix

Changed \QuickAccessViewModel.cs\ to use the specific resource string \MouseWithoutBorders_ReconnectButton/Text\ ('Reconnect') for the title when the module type is \MouseWithoutBorders, while keeping the generic label for all other modules.

Added a new private method \GetModuleItemTitle(ModuleType moduleType)\ that handles this special case.

…ad of generic module name

PR microsoft#46025 added MWB to Quick Access but used the generic module label
which returns 'Mouse Without Borders'. This was confusing because the
item appears to open settings but actually only triggers a reconnect.

Added GetModuleItemTitle() to use the specific resource
'MouseWithoutBorders_ReconnectButton/Text' ('Reconnect') for MWB.
