            Bug ID: 45281
           Summary: Get rid of entity type prefix for summary localization

Currently, "magic" edit summaries use system message keys that have the form

wikibase-item-summary-wbsetlabel-set
wikibase-item-summary-wbsetlabel-remove

for items, and for properties it would be 

wikibase-property-summary-wbsetlabel-set
wikibase-property-summary-wbsetlabel-remove

This is redundant and makes translation cumbersome and prone to
inconsistencies. The same action performed on different kinds of entities
doesn't usually need a different message. So for any kind of entity we should
just use

wikibase-summary-wbsetlabel-set
wikibase-summary-wbsetlabel-remove


In cases where it does make a difference, the "action" suffix can be used,
e.g.:

wikibase-item-summary-wbeditentity-create

could be split into

wikibase-summary-wbeditentity-create-item
wikibase-summary-wbeditentity-create-property
