Rename "Primary navigation" menu to "Primary menu" and update description.

Description of the need

A long time ago in the early days of Backdrop the Navigation menu was dropped and the Primary menu was suggested as the defacto menu to use.

Two problems arise from this direction:

1. Naming of the menu is non-standard.

In Backdrop the default menus typically end with "menu" with the exception of "Primary navigation".

2. The menu name and description combine two functionalities or purposes.

The original purpose of the Primary menu was to have items focused to show the major sections of the site. Sometimes thought of as a Main menu that has common items like: Home, About, FAQ, Contact.

A totally separate menu, the Navigation menu, has the purpose "is the main interactive menu for any site. It is usually the only menu that contains personalized links for authenticated users, and is often not even visible to anonymous users." Contrib modules may more commonly add items to such a menu, although some modules may add links to the Primary menu.

3. A third incidental issue is that Drupal 7 had 4 default menus: Main menu, Management, Navigation, and User menu.

Proposed solution

Backdrop default menus are not ideal.

Only having three menus: Account menu, Administration menu, and Primary navigation; does not provide for typical site usage. Separating Primary navigation into two separate menus will provide better separation at the core level and also provide similar mapping for sites coming from Drupal 7.
