Messages displayed in empty lists in the UI are inconsistent

Problem/Motivation

The informational texts displayed when viewing an empty list of items is inconsistent.

For example:

* hyperlink to add a new entry.

Proposed resolution

Decide on a consistent form for such messages, whether to use the plural or singular case, start message with "There is/are..." or just "No..." and whether to end with a link to add new items or not.

Remaining tasks

Choose standardisation.
Identify all lists.
Implement standardisation for all lists.

User interface changes

Text changes only, unless it is decided to remove inline links to create new items, eg as for /admin/config/search/path.

API changes

None.

    There is still inconsistencies in these messages. I have updated the IS for the strings in 10.1.x

    The next step is to get agreement on the strings.
