plasma_workspace.notifyrc: relabel to match button

The HIG recommend that buttons labeled with locations match the title of the page they open. In plasma/plasma-workspace!4000 (merged), a specific button was introduced to open the Plasma Workspace notification settings, using the "System Notifications" label as a more user-centered term that puts importance on the things the user can configure, rather than the implementation detail that these settings are part of the Plasma Workspace notifications. This, however, has led to the button label not matching the title of the page it links to.

This change modifies plasma_workspace.notifyrc to also use the "System Notifications" terminology.

HIG recommendation on button labels:

A location is another page, window, or sub-menu that opens when the user triggers the button or menu item. Match the title of the new page or window in the button or menu item label.

Screenshot showing the button:

notifications_new

Screenshot showing the opened page as is:

notifications_system_old

Screenshot showing the opened page with change applied:

notifications_system_new

Note on testing this change: when building using kde-builder for a kde installation inside ~/, kcm_notifications does not appear to read the correct file and prefers the use of the system-installed file instead of following the order of preference specified in XDG_DATA_DIRS. A bug report on this is forthcoming when I get a change to properly write it up. The change can be tested by temporarily renaming the system-installed plasma_workspace.notifyrc.
