[Qgis-tr] tip text changes

During translation I found some 'tips' which are not ok anymore because 
of gui changes (I think):

In this one:

In the print composer tool bar you can find two buttons for moving 
elements. The left one (right arrow icon) selects and moves elements in 
the layout. After selecting the element with this tool you can also move 
them around with the arrow keys. For accurate positioning use the 
<strong>Position and Size</strong> dialogue, which can be found in the 
tab <strong>Item Properties -> General Options -> Position and 
Size</strong>. The other move tool (map canvas icon with right arrow) 
allows one to move the map content within a map frame.

The positioning stuff is not in
Item Properties -> General Options -> Position and Size
but just in
Item Properties -> -> Position and Size

and besides that, it is not a dialog anymore (in other tips we call it 
'sections' now)

In this one:

Sometimes you have a very large dataset which takes ages to draw. You 
can press 'Esc' (the escape key), or click the small red 'X' icon in the 
status bar to the bottom right of the window at any time to halt 
rendering. If you are going to be performing several actions (e.g. 
modifying symbology options) and wish to temporarily disable map 
rendering while you do so, you can uncheck the 'Render' checkbox in the 
bottom right of the status bar. Don't forget to check it on again when 
you are ready to have the map draw itself again!

There is no 'small red X icon' anymore. I call it the 'Stop map 
rendering'-button myself in the translation.

Last one:

You can rotate a map by setting its rotation value in the <strong>Item 
Properties -> Map</strong> section. To place a north arrow in your 
layout you can use the <strong>Add Image</strong> tool. After the 
selection and placement of the north arrow in the layout you can link it 
with a specific map frame by activating the <strong>Sync with 
map</strong> checkbox and selecting a map frame. Whenever you change the 
rotation value of a linked map, the north arrow will now automatically 
adjust its rotation.

Item Properties -> Map
should be
Item Properties -> Map -> Main properties
