[MD Settings] Revise overly technical language; use user-friendly language

Project Member Reported by srahim@chromium.org, Jan 14 2017

Issue description

1) IDS_SETTINGS_ADD_SITE_HEADER
Current: Add an exception for a site
Proposed: Add site

Rationale: “exception” is not needed and is unnecessarily technical; user is adding a site to the “block” or “allow” list, so "add site" matches the UI.


2) IDS_SETTINGS_SEARCH_EXPLANATION
Current: Search engine used when searching from the omnibox
Proposed: Search engine used in the address bar

Rationale: Avoid “omnibox” in user-facing text; HC and marketing videos use “address bar.” Also make the sentence more concise.


3) IDS_SETTINGS_ENCRYPT_WITH_GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS_LABEL
Current: Encrypt synced passwords with your Google credentials
Proposed: Encrypt synced passwords with your Google username and password

Rationale: More concise, avoids “credentials” in favor of more user-friendly terms


4) IDS_SETTINGS_SYNC_TIMEOUT
Current: Please make sure your network connection is working and if the problem persists, please sign out and sign in again to refresh your credentials.

Proposed: Check your internet connection. If the problem continues, try signing out and signing in again.

Rationale: More concise, avoids “credentials” in favor of more user-friendly terms

IDS_SETTINGS_ADD_SITE_HEADER doesn't seem to exist anymore. Changes for other ones will land shortly.

FYI, IDS_SETTINGS_SEARCH_EXPLANATION has already been partly addressed by  issue 694819 .
