JDK-8258002 - Update "type" terminology in generated docs
Description
One example of non-localized strings can be seen in search.js:

var noResult = {l: "No results found"};
var loading = {l: "Loading search index..."};
var catModules = "Modules";
var catPackages = "Packages";
var catTypes = "Types";
var catMembers = "Members";
var catSearchTags = "SearchTags";
var watermark = 'Search';

var UNNAMED = "<Unnamed>";

Basic functionality complete and verified; just need jtreg test

Needed to complete JDK-8258002 -- specifically, to handle varying the value of var catTypes = "Types";

In search.js, I notice that `escapeHtml` on line 42 does not handle `&`. Should it? Could `&` in `{@index ...}` tags be a problem?

General suggestion: perhaps the template file could have tokens it it of the general form ##REPLACE:key## where "key" is the name of the resource string to be substituted

From offline discussion: Suggestion for discussion/consideration: search.js contains a number of strings that should be localized, For example, selected constants in lines 26-40. Maybe the file could be renamed as a template file in the repo and generated binary, and then localized as part of being copied into the generated docs.
