#1320: Projection Selector dialog changes for uniformity and clarity

1. the title of the Projection Selector dialogs that appear on layer load
and for change CRS in layer properties should be "Select Coordinate
Reference System" or something like that in keeping with the recent change
to the use of coordinate reference system nomenclature.
2. the title of said dialog should include the layer name or datasource,
at least on layer load when no CRS is found. This is because multiple
layers may be loaded at one time and the load order or even that some do
have a CRS detected leads to confusion as to which layer needs a CRS
assigned.
3. the text (Define this layer's projection...) that appears on some of
the dialogs explaining what the dialog is about refers to Projection. This
should be changed to Coordinate Reference System as it is the current
usage.
4. for vector layers, including GPS layers, the Projection Selector dialog
presented from the layer properties, change CRS, should not have the text
about defining the layer projection because one wasn't found. The text is
somewhat misleading since one should have been set at layer load. The
change CRS dialog for raster layer properties does not have this text, so
vector layers should be the same.
