Title:
  improve help messages on modals

Status in OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  
  It will be a great effort to clean up all the messaging in Horizon, but we can take a first step with some of the help messages. :)

  Here are some examples of things to update:
  1. "From here you can create a new domain to organize projects, groups and users."
  https://github.com/openstack/horizon/blob/master/openstack_dashboard/dashboards/admin/domains/workflows.py#L45

  (a) You don't need the first four words.
  (b) You shouldn't use "new" when you use the verb "create" because new is implicit when you create.
  (c) Insert a comma before "and".
  Therefore, the suggested replacement text is as follows:
  "Create a domain to organize projects, groups, and users."

  We should apply this to other modals as well.

  2. We should also avoid using words like "Info."  Those should all be replaced with "Information."
  Domain Info ==> Domain Information
