This is a simple and straightforward change introducing accessible names and descriptions for various UI elements of "Temporary Files Settings" dialog of Java Control Panel. During its forward-port to 8, we need to check if there are any changes in UI elements of this dialog, comparing to 7u3, and add appropriate modifications. This fix adds new string messages that need further localization. This fix depends on the fix for JDK-7186087.
