[Mark Roszko <mark.roszko@xxxxxxxxx>]

I submitted this as a merge request but it may be best to discuss it
on the mailing list.

I started to hit up the other Eeschema dialogs while I was working on
the hotkey editor.

https://code.launchpad.net/~mark-roszko/kicad/eeschema-dialog-tweaks

Changes:
=========
-Use the verb "Generate" rather than the noun "Netlist" on the button
in the Netlist Dialog. Netlist isn't a real verb.
-Use the verb "Annotate" instead of the noun "Annotation" in the
Annotate Schematic dialog.

-ERC Dialog:
--***Add tooltips to ERC options matrix buttons to indicate what their
current state is, for newb friendliness.***
--Cleanup ERC options code that for some reason decided to delete the
button and recreate it instead of just updating it's bitmap directly.
--Fix dialog title to be "Electrical Rules Checker" to match everywhere else.
--Fix all usages of "Erc" to "ERC" consistently.
--Move action buttons to bottom of dialog, make Del Markers actually
say Delete Markers.
--Make the "Test Erc" button into "Run" because you are running the
electrical rules checker and not testing it.

Only real changes of contention are the buttons in ERC dialog moving
and the Netlist vs Generate word usage.
