Do not use verb "Install" for things other than turning on modules/themes

Problem/Motivation

On #2888657: [meta] Less confusing and more consistent wording needed in module/theme add/install/update we are trying to make the UI around actions with modules/themes more consistent.

On 📌 [Meta] Use Install/Uninstall consistently for turning modules/themes on/off (not Enable) Active we are making sure that when we talk about turning a module/theme on/off, we always use the verbs "Install" and "Uninstall", and on #2577407: Action of uploading module/theme files should consistently be called "Add", not "Install" we are making sure we use the verb "Add" for the action of uploading files for a module/theme.

On this issue, we want to make sure we don't use the verbs Install/Uninstall for other things, such as updating.

Proposed resolution

Make sure we don't use the verbs "Install/Uninstall" in conjunction with modules/themes for anything except turning them on/off. In particular, for updating we should use the verb "Update" not "Install updates".

Remaining tasks

Fix UI text.

User interface changes

More consistent use of the verbs "Install/Uninstall" in conjunction with modules/themes.
