Eliminate redundant use of "new" with "add" and "create" text

Splattered throughout core are redundant uses of the word "new" with "add" and "create" text strings.

Not only do the redundancies exist, but the text is not consistent on it use. For example, consider the default home page immediately after installation. The bulleted item in the content reads, "Add new content" while the navigation menu item reads, "Add content."

If we are in a string freeze, then this will most likely not get implemented in 7.x, which is unfortunate.

    Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!

    A simple grep of the code base confirms the redundant strings exist in comments, tests, and user interface elements.
