Short description of changes

This is a "Work in progress" -- on the basis I'm not 100% sure I've found all reference still!

CHANGELOG: Further clean up source references to "directory server" to current terminology

Context: Fixes an issue?

We now refer to "directory server" as "Directory" in the documentation. This change tries to find more places the software gets it wrong and correct them.

Does this change need documentation? What needs to be documented and how?

Yes - the help string changes, as well as more translations being added.

Status of this Pull Request

I've run in client, server and directory modes successfully.

What is missing until this pull request can be merged?

Works for me ... but yes, checking the changes - and impact on translators especially - would be useful.

The comment should imply a request being sent from the server to the directory. So the "to" helps, I think. That then limits the rest of the phrase...

Albatross, English! To doesn't help when which follows it. It's just a bizarre English construct that ESL readers choke on. Meanwhile, where this server requested registration has no trouble indicating the actor.
