C: VCheckboxT: featuregood first issue

Description

Problem to solve

Allow devs to add additional info on what checking the checkbox means, along with its label

Proposed solution

Right now devs can "kinda" achieve that through the :hint prop, but the rendered UI is kinda ugly. What I was thinking was adding text right below the label, with a font-size lower than the label but higher than the hint. Related SASS variables should be provided too

Research direction
Examine the VCheckbox component implementation in the Vuetify source code (likely src/components/VCheckbox). Understand how the existing `hint` prop works to render additional text. Look for related SASS variables for typography (e.g., `$checkbox font size`, `$hint font size`) to determine appropriate sizes. Review the issue comments for any additional context or maintainer guidance.
