Clarify "Ground Fill Seed" UI

The ground fill seed is a very useful tool, but a bit hard to explain. This ticket collects some issues and ideas on how to improve them.

1) The notion of the "seed" is a bit hard to get around. It would be nicer to use terminology that is already in place. For example, we could say "ground fill nets" instead.

2) It's not clear what the checkboxes in the list of seeds are for. If they are used in the next ground fill, then "GND" and "ground" should be selected by default. Alternatively, we could remove the checkboxes, and make clear that all elements in the list are included (and can be removed from the list).

3) Buttons "OK and copper/ground fill" are confusing. Instead, we could just have "OK" and "Cancel", and a check box on the left side (enabled by default) that reads: "Re-run ground fill when settings changed"

4) It would be nice to be able to add additional seeds from within the seeds dialog. Maybe we can add a button "Add seeds" in there?

To 1) Finding a suitable translation for "seed" is quite difficult.
