[System Settings] Changes needed for the UI on a tablet device

[Pat McGowan]

Note for design: can we simply avoid referring to the/this phone as in most uses its not necessary for clarity, and then the same text can always apply..

Main panel:
Hide Cellular
Hide Hotspot
Hide Phone
About this phone -> About this device or just About
Reset phone -> Reset device or just Reset

Background
Ensure default for images is landscape

Sound:
Hide Ringer, Phone Calls and Messages sections

Security and Privacy
Hide SIM PIN
Locking and unlocking > Lock security "Unlock the phone using" --> "Unlock the device using"
Locking and unlocking > Lock when idle "Lock the phone when..." --> "Lock the device when ..."
"Phone won't lock..." --> Device won't lock ..."

About this device
Hide IMEI
Developer mode > "this phone" --> "this device"

A minor point but what happens when we search in settings for hidden stuff

--------------------------------
Note from design:

- The text in the UI should never refer to "Phone", "Tablet" or "Desktop". Instead the word "Device" should be used.

- e.g. "About This Computer" or "About This Phone" is incorrect. This wording should be changed to "About this device" in both the indicator and System Settings to be convergence friendly.

- This change applies to all device references in the UI.
