bug#71708: Terminology inconsistencies (1)

GNU Emacs 30.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.33, cairo version 1.16.0) of 2024-04-15

[menubar] File
or:
[minibuffer] menu-bar-open > File
    ...    ...(menuitems)
    "Open Directory"
    ...(more menuitems)
or:
C-x d
    "Dired: (directory):"


Clearly, there seems to be consistent and appropriate use (since this is on Linux)
of the term "Directory".

However, when:

[menubar] File > Save As
[Create] button
    [tooltip] "Create Folder"
    [popup] "Folder Name" (as well as a message "A folder with that name
        already exists" when typing in an existing directory name)


This is an inconsistency.
Since this is Linux, it should be "Create Directory" for the tooltip, "Directory Name"
for the popup, and  "A directory with that name already exists" for the message.
