Don't use "node" in the UI

Problem/Motivation

Sometime around Drupal 7, we decided we should not use the word "node" in the UI. It is on our UI text guidelines page:
https://www.drupal.org/docs/develop/user-interface-standards/interface-text
We should be using the terms "content item" and "content type", not "node" or "node type".

However, if you go to localize.drupal.org and search for strings in Drupal core containing "node", you will find about 5 pages of results.

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Fix all the strings in the UI containing "node" to use the correct terminology.

Suggested steps to identify changes for those that are not super-well-versed in grep:

  1. Go to https://localize.drupal.org/translate/languages/cs/translate?project=drupal (the language selection doesn't matter for what we're doing here).
  2. Select 9.4.5 as the Release.
  3. In the "Reveal more filters" area, enter "node" in the Contains field, then click to "Filter".
  4. Look for text strings that include the word "node" where it isn't part of a URL, token, etc...
  5. Document any qualifying text strings in the "User interface changes" section below.

Remaining tasks

Patch.

User interface changes

We won't be using the very confusing word "node" in core UI text.

API changes

No.

Data model changes

No.

Release notes snippet

No.
