Costume "edit" and "rename" context menu items need ellipses #79

The "edit" and "rename" menu items on costumes should have ellipses.

I might just fix this now - but I don't know when menu options should and shouldn't have ellipses. What is the design?

From Apple's guidelines:

Use an ellipsis to show users that further action is required to complete the command. The ellipsis character (…) means that a dialog or a separate window will open in which users need to make additional choices or supply additional information in order to complete the action. For details on when to use an ellipsis in menu items, see “Using the Ellipsis Character.”

There's probably a few more items scattered throughout Snap! if you were to check. Also make sure that translations exist for these options.
