Waveform summary and overview mean the same thing

[Sean M. Pappalardo]

We should come up with better terms, since "summary" and "overview" can mean the same thing, so it's not clear which is which in the preferences.

Can we call one "main" or "detail" or even "scrolling" and the small one either "summary" or "overview"?
Can we do this for 2.0.0?

[RJ Skerry-Ryan (rryan)]

I would avoid mass wording changes for 2.0 because of i18n. it's worth
cleaning this up though -- 2.1?

To solve this, not only change the handful of user facing strings.

Proposed terminology:
a) waveform
   - the main, moving waveform
b) waveform overview
   - the smaller-zoomed waveform
     The term is established for audio-related applications.

Across the code there is mixed use of SUMMARY and OVERVIEW while describing b=waveform overview. Part of this fix should be to settle for OVERVIEW and cleaning the code up.
