Description

What happened? (You can include a screenshot if it helps explain)

What does it mean to restart a run from a specific ensemble? Will we rerun the selected ensemble? I think we agreed that it will update from the selected ensemble, and continue running. Maybe Select prior would be a better button-text?

Relates to https://github.com/equinor/ert/issues/11856#issuecomment-3328013183n

Contributor guide

Research direction
Find the string 'restart run' in the GUI source code, likely in a Python file related to the ES MDA dialog. Consider changing it to 'Select prior' or similar clearer text.
