Replace obscure english use of "edition"

[Seth Hillbrand]

There was a discussion recently about what KiCad meant by the tooltip "useful after a manual pad netname edition". I assumed initially that this was a misspelling of "addition". However, in grepping through the source code, we use this term in a number of places to mean "edit".

A few places:
dialog_global_edit_tracks_and_vias_base.fbp: "Global Edition of Tracks and Vias"
tool_footprint_editor.cpp: "Undo last edition"

[Bob Cousins (bobcousins42)]

I don't think it is obscure, but just wrong. It seems to be a "faux amis" commonly used by ESL speakers. "an edition" refers to a publication of book or newspaper, for a document the word should be "an edit". Synonyms are "change" or "update".

Therefore

dialog_global_edit_tracks_and_vias_base.fbp: "Global Update of Tracks and Vias"
tool_footprint_editor.cpp: "Undo last edit"

[Wayne Stambaugh (stambaughw)]

"Edition" is not correct in this context and should be changed. I've
been changing them when I find them. "Edition" is defined as the
version in which a text is published[1]. It does not have anything to
do with editing. If you find any more uses of the term "edition", make
a note so we can fix them in 5.1.

I believe all these are already fixed in my 6.0 dialog work.

Cheers,
Jeff.

(That’s the 6.0 dialog work that’s currently slated to move to 5.1.)

There were still a lot of occurrences in comments, so I fixed those as well.
