While reviewing #4813, I realized that the code action for the expansion of positional records was producing the message "Expand record wildcard". This must be confusing for users on multiple levels, since:
This PR aims to fix this by producing different titles for the code action depending on whether it is a wildcard expansion or "positional record expansion". I have opted to rephrase the latter as "Convert to traditional record syntax", both to be consistent with the GADT conversion code action, and also with
-XTraditionalRecordSyntax.
