In the OPAC staff interface we use a mix of 'Edit' and 'Modify' on forms for
changing information in Koha.

Should we be using Edit or Modify for editing forms? Do we have a preferred
term or does it not matter? Should we be more consistent?

Some examples:
- Cataloging for a record: Edit > Edit record, Edit items, Edit items in batch;
form is labelled 'Editing [title]', 'Edit Item #XXX', 'Edit items'
- Administration > Z39.50/SRU servers administration: Edit for action menu, on
the form 'Modify Z39.50 server'
- Administration > Libraries: Edit for the action menu, on the form we use
'Modify library'
- Tools > Patron lists: Edit for action menu, on the form 'Modify patron list'
- Tools > News: Edit for action menu, 'Edit news item' for the form
- Patrons: Edit for the action, 'Modify patron [name...]'
- Acquisitions > Vendor edit: 'Edit vendor' button, 'Update: [vendor name]'
- Acquisitions > Baskets: 'Edit basket' button, 'Edit basket [basket name]'
- Tools > CSV profiles: Edit for the action menu, 'Modify a CSV profile' 

Whatever way is decided (if anything) we should al least be consistent in the
future, both from a user interface point of view and to help with translation.
