Each of the string changes are for menu item labels.

       * Replaced "Hide %s" with "Show %s"
       * Replaced "_Show Toolbars" with "_Hide Toolbars"
Epiphany can have multiple toolbars configured by the user, and has the
option to hide/show each of them individually. We previously had "Show
Toolbars" as a master toggle to determine whether any toolbar was
visible or not, and "Hide %s" as toggles to hide individual toolbars.
This was felt to be confusing to users and so we would like to change
this to "Hide Toolbars" and "Show %s".
 
      * Replaced "_Remove Toolbar" with "_Delete Toolbar"
Not really necessary. It helps to differentiate it from "Remove from
Toolbar" which is a menu item with similar icon that is immediately
above it when you are editing the toolbar.

      * Replaced "Properties" with "_Properties"
This was simply adding a mnemonic to a menu item that should always have
had it.
