gist is to use an easier, less cluttering language - before, we had context menu items named 'Info', 'Message Details' or just 'i', opening then 'Message Details'.

together with deltachat/deltachat-android#3137 , the menu entry will be named 'Info' everywhere and open a 'Message Info' dialog, this has the following benefits:

  • inner consistency to other Delta Chat apps all apps have recognizable 'Info' in their context menu, opening a 'Message Info' dialog

  • inner consistency to other desktopn menu entries: 'Message Details' is a little too much as the context 'Message' is already clear. (we also do not say 'Forward Message' or 'Reply to Message'; as an exception, we regard only 'Delete Message').

  • also, 'Info' is shorter and fits better to the otherwise short menu titles.

  • outer consistency: 'Info' is very well known for that kind of, well, info

to take full effect, strings need to be re-pulled,
however, this is no blocker and can be done also after merging.
