 In #43994, it was proposed to add help tabs to Personal Data
 Exporter/Eraser tools. They were added in [50147] based on proposal by
 @burtrw. However, text that was committed gives incorrect information and
 it's inconsistent.

 The biggest issue is that it gives false information about what data is
 deleted/anonymized by default. The only thing that is actually
 deleted/anonymized is the data about author of the comment user has made.
 My patch makes the following changes:

 - Only lists things that eraser actually does.
 - Reviews listing of things that are exported, and uses names that are
 used in an export file.
 - Uses sentence case for listing.
 - Appends "Personal" in front of "Data Exporter/Eraser".
