D23415: Improve comprehensibility and consistency of window placement mode names

[Vlad Zagorodniy]

  > Renaming "Smart" to "Avoid Overlapping"
  
  The new name has imperative mood, which looks odd when looking at other names.
  
  > Renaming "Maximizing" to "Maximized"
  
  "Maximizing" indicates that the placement policy maximizes clients.
  
  "Maximized" indicates that the placement policy is maximized itself.
  
  Take my words with a grain of salt because I hold a Ph.D degree in Broken English. I'd like to be corrected.
  
  > Renaming "Zero-Cornered" to "Top-Left Corner"
  
  Frankly, I don't see any improvements over the old name. The old name is confusing but so is the new name.
  
  > Ensuring consistency betweeen the window behavior and window rules KCMs
  
  More on that please.
