password: Use ‘hint’ not ‘reminder’

Will Thompson requested to merge wjt/password-hint-not-reminder into master

‘Reminder’ is more typically used in the sense of an alert emitted for a calendar event, to-do list item, etc.

‘Password hint’ is the more widely-used and -understood term for a note to self to remind you of your password. This is also the term used by the AccountsService API.

Change both the user-visible strings, and the identifiers used in the code.

(The user-visible strings are not in fact user-visible unless 97e0cbb4 is reverted.)

Thanks to @afranke for the suggestion.
