Sort out dialog titles on CUPS add printer flow

Project Member Reported by justincarlson@chromium.org, May 12 2017

Issue description

There are (rather, are planned) 3 distinct ways a user can go through the add-printer CUPS flow:

1)  The user selects a discovered printer, and that printer is configured without further input from the user
2)  The user selects a discovered printer, but the system has to prompt them for manufacturer/model or ppd information
3)  The user enters the full printer information without using any information from discovery.

#1 is called "Adding a nearby printer"
#3 is called "Adding a printer manually"

#2 is somewhere in between, and is currently also uses the 'manually' terminology at the point where we start asking for information from the user.  

It was brought up on https://codereview.chromium.org/2825153002/ that this may be imprecise and/or confusing.  We need to decide what the right thing to call that discover-then-add-more-information flow is, and make the associated changes if any.

My thoughts on this -

There are 2 flows "Adding a nearby printer" or "Adding a printer manually" which should only be toggled on the first screen.

The second screen for specifying the manufacturer/model for PPD download can occur (or not occur) for either workflow is a separate step to setting up a printer. No button should appear on this screen per  crbug.com/721815 .

Re#3: this issue is about the dialog title for the three flows. Flow 1 is called "Adding a nearby printer" and flow 3 is called "Adding a printer manually", but flow 2 is a little confusing since it's in between.

Per convo with xdai@ this week, there are 2 flows for setup which may or may not need the dialog for manually providing the additional printer manufacturer and model information (both flows should ideally be able to auto-detect this information).

For the dialog title, let's call it "Select a printer manufacturer and model"

+shibasheikh@ - FYI.
