Replace padding dots symbol by multiple dots (#16594)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Related to #16345.

Summary of the issue:
Multiple dots are reported as "padding dots" in situations where these dots have no padding function. "padding" is too restrictive and is also more difficult to understand; by the way, some translators have actually translated "padding dots" to "multiple dots" in their translations.

Description of user facing changes
Multiple dots (4 or more) will now be reported with the more neutral "multiple dots" instead of "padding dots" when the symbol level is high enough.

Description of development approach
Changed both the symbol name and what is reported in symbol file.
