Inconsistent messaging with product names and "device"

Project Member Reported by drcrash@chromium.org, Sep 15 2016

Issue description

We have a number of strings that look like: .... Product Name device. For example, ".... Chromebox for Meetings device." I think the "device" part should be dropped, and we should just use the product name. Example of such strings:

https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/chrome/app/chromeos_strings.grdp?rcl=0&l=5790
https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/chrome/app/chromeos_strings.grdp?rcl=0&l=5813
https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/chrome/app/chromeos_strings.grdp?rcl=0&l=1477

Also in this particular case, we refer to the CfM as:

   - Chromebox for Meetings
   - 'Chromebox for meeting'   [sic, with the quotes, yes]

This is very inconsistent. We should fix that, and/or make these strings templates using the device type as a variable part and rely on the code to provide the proper product name as is done in many places where strings are used across product lines. There would be a benefit to do this even for single product lines as far as consistency goes (the names would be correct).
