[Design][Sum] Should we rename Dump and Reload?

[Mimi Yin]

Account settings :o) Settings is basically everything outside of user- 
data. I don't think we want or need to get into listing out all of  
the things that will get saved in the dump. Users just need to get  
the general idea and will mostly be following instructions.

The rule of thumb I'm using for what goes in the Tools menu and what  
goes in the end-user menus is not the frequency of use but whether we  
expect end-users to use it. So I think this qualifies as an end-user  
menu item.
