Display signal type when SIGKILL'ing a process or application

System Monitor allows you to send two types of signals to kill processes or apps: SIGTERM or SIGKILL. However the UI in the kill dialog doesn't tell you which one is being used, making it difficult to verify that you used the one you wanted.

This commit solves that problem by changing the terminology when using SIGKILL: use the word force/forcibly to distinguish it from normal quitting, and mention the signal name.

Since those strings were being touched, it also slightly re-words them for better HIG conformance.

BUG: 490934 FIXED-IN: 6.2.0

Some examples:

kill a single app with SIGKILL kill multiple processes with SIGKILL
Force_quit_one_app Force_kill_multiple_processes
