Change 'messages' to 'notices' throughout the interface

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/297913

This involves more than just the tooltip - the change is for the entire interface, changing 'message' to 'notice' in context of the popup.

At some point, we should do the same with the back-end and supporting code, but in order to do that, we will need to also change the API section names as well. See T139682: Change 'messages' to 'notices' internally (method names and such)

Checked the labeling for 'Notice' in 1.28.0-wmf.10.

  • the tooltip refers to 'your notices' correctly

  • the flyout panel displays Notices:

In the above screenshot "You have new messages" warning, in fact, refers to notifications that currently classified as Alerts. Seems a bit odd to have the three terms close in meaning - notifications, notices, messages - displayed in close proximity.

The following instances of 'message' have been changed to 'notice'

  • the tooltip (see the screenshot in the above comment)
  • 'notice' is used instead of 'message' in the flyout

Trizek-WMF subscribed.

Apparently, the tooltip has not been updated (ping @Etonkovidova to check):

mw.org screenshot

title="(tooltip-pt-notifications-message)(word-separator)(brackets: (accesskey-pt-notifications-message))(word-separator)(brackets)"

the right message is tooltip-pt-notifications-notice, translations are available and are currently checked on T140645: Review if "notices" are not translated by "messages" for Notifications fly-outs on TranslateWiki.

Checked enwiki and mediawiki (and was checking testwiki and enwiki after deployment) - the tooltip "Your notices" is in place with 1.28.0-wmf.11 (a449907).

The UI was correct before, but the message key was a bit confusing.
