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.
