Bug Description
In Horizon, "Terminate Instance" is used for the action menu corresponding to "nova delete <server>".
"Terminate Instance" actually will delete a given server.
However, from what I have heard from end-users not familiar with OpenStack dashboard, it seems end-users do not associate "Terminate Instance" with deleting a server completely. They tend to think that it forces servers to be shutdown (like virsh destroy).
IMHO "Delete Instance" is preferred and looks confusing.

I don't mind changing this to Delete, it does make sense to change it since it will now match the API action.
AWS console uses the term Launch and Terminate, perhaps the idea came from there.
