Improve the screenshots of the KDE Human Interface Guidelines

Improve the screenshots of our HIG. Do this by following the recommendations from our design experts, outlined below:
Ellipsis
* The second screenshot doesn't really show how the ellipsis is
commonly misused. Better examples would be to put an ellipsis on the
Save... Quit... and Delete... items only.
* Also, print, quit, and delete are not capitalized.
Date Time
* Screenshot could be improved by selecting all 8 characters in the
Bad example. Having none selected doesn't really illustrate the
problem
Menu Bar
* Screenshot doesn't really illustrate the good or bad of the guidelines...
* The "Good" example is incorrect. Configure Items is not a valid menu
item name, it should only be one word
* The "Bad" examples could be improved by highlighting what is bad
about them. Readers might not notice that certain items don't have
keyboard shortcuts or that a label is concatenated
Tabs Pages
* The first screenshot would be better if there were an additional tab
instead of spacing around the label to make the tabs bigger

The task should be fairly easy to complete, but given the holidays, we added some extra time.
Good luck and merry christmas!
