Title:
  Replace "user" with a more appropriate term where possible

Status in Mahara:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  See https://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=8546 for
  background

  It may not be possible to replace all instances at once, e.g.
  "username" is very much entrenched. However, I'll check in which cases
  we can easily change from "user" to another term.

  I am not going to change all language string identifiers as the
  translators may not wish to make that change in their language. I am
  going to change some string identifiers where there is a big change
  that I think would be good for translators to pick up.

  This is not going to eliminate the word "user" in the code, just what
  people see on the screen.

  We might want to consider combining "User setting"s and "Account
  settings" under "Site options" and then search for "User settings" to
  see in which help files it's been used.
