Subject: d.m menu: v.convert has a bad description

v.convert's menu entry:

File -> Import -> Vector -> Import/Export old GRASS vector format

should be just "Import old GRASS vector format"

Export functionality was never written. (use v.out.ascii -o format=standard)


along the same lines:

File -> Export -> Vector -> Import/Export old GRASS vector format
should be removed.


and:
File -> Export -> Vector -> ASCII points file from GRASS sites file
should be removed (s.out.ascii not built by default and is only there for
debugging purposes)

same with:

File -> Import -> Vector -> ASCII points file to GRASS sites format


and:

File -> Export -> Vector -> GRASS vector file

might be renamed as-
"ASCII file or GRASS ASCII-vector format or old GRASS ASCII-vector format"

... but hopefully something more concise than that.

v.out.ascii exports:
  - '|' delimeted ascii text file
  - GRASS ASCII-format files
  - old GRASS ASCII-format files for import into 5.0/5.4 etc.

It's a pity to hide all that functionality. Maybe make three menu items with
options pre-programmed?
