#38840: Twenty Seventeen: comments.php is all about "Replies" instead of "Comments"

 From themes Twenty Eleven to Twenty Sixteen, the summarizing headline over
 the comment area of a post was all about "thoughts".

 There were the text-strings: One thought about "Hello World" or the plural
 form of it.

 Now in Twenty Seventeen it's: One Reply to "Hello World"
 see: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-
 content/themes/twentyseventeen/comments.php#L36
 and
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-
 content/themes/twentyseventeen/comments.php#L40

 Wouldn't it make sense to change this either in Twenty Seventeen to
 "thoughts" as well, for consistency?

 Or even better to completely rethink the description of this headline and
 links from "thoughts" and "replies" to "Comments" everywhere in the
 comment area.

 I thinks it's confusing to have a headline there that's about "thoughts"
 and/or "replies". It would make more sense to have it consistent described
 as comments, which we reply to. But these don't become Replies than after
 all in the comment area.

 This changes might also affect some dev-Core text-strings:
