[PATCH] menus: remove unneeded words and unneeded shortenings from key labels

[Benno Schulenberg]

In "Cut Text" and "Paste Text" the word "Text" is superfluous.  It
could even be called slightly misleading, because by default ^K will
cut the current line, whether or not it contains text.

The "Get Help" is of course inherited from Pico, but to me it has
always sounded a bit as if it would go search help on the internet.

Instead of "Spelling" I would have preferred "Spellcheck", but that
gets a bit too cramped on an 80-column terminal.

For ^C I've chosen "Location" because I tend to understand "Position"
as a verb, especially when seen next to "Go To Line" (even when having
two items with the same meaning next to each other doesn't make sense).

"Mark Text" has simply always been wrong.  It doesn't mark anything,
but just *sets* the mark (or unsets it, but that normally happens
automatically, no need to mention that in the label).

The "Cut Till End" and "Full Justify" get shown only on very wide
terminals, and at such widths there is enough room for each label
to write out those labels in full.
