rename "snapping mode" option

[DelazJ]

Fix #14828
When comes the time to document the Snapping Options dialog, it's quite difficult to find the right words; "Snapping mode" is used as well as for:

• the to-snap-to layer selection mode : Current layer, All layers, Advanced
• and the way to snap to that layer: To vertex, To segment, To vertex and segment, Off as described in the Digitizing tab of Settings --> Options menu.

Are there other places left where this needs to be adjusted? What's the proper terminology now?

• Snapping layer selection
• Geometry snap mode

Anything better?

Not sure there's a need elsewhere.
Not fan of "Geometry Snap Mode". This combobox is really about layer that will be snapped to, so imo should mention layer

So what would be the proper label for the option snap to Vertex/Segment/Vertex an Segment(/Face)?

[DelazJ]

I'd say, let's use:

• "Default snap(ping?) mode" in Settings --> Options -->Digitizing tab
• in Settings --> Snappping Options dialog:
  • "Snapping layer selection" for the first combobox with current layer, all visible layers and Advanced
  • "Snap(ping?) mode" for the combobox with to vertex, to segment ...
  • "Snap(ping?) mode" for the field showing to vertex, to segment ... when Advanced layer selection is active (instead of just "Mode") - for consistency

Actually, these labels were for the two options, right? Sorry, I misunderstood and thought it was 2 proposals for the first combobox.
Ok for the first, no strong opinion for the second (use of geometry)

Yes, I just searched for two terms that are concise and clear.
