Change "Database schema" to "Database updates" in admin status report

Issue Summary

In the status report on the Administer page, system_requirements() creates an entry titled "Database schema" that either says "Up to date" or reports that there are updates to perform. The entry does not really know whether the schema is correct; it knows that there are updates to perform. I'd like to change it to say "Database updates" instead.

The reason I care, of course, is that schema.module can put a "Database schema" entry in the status report that actually reports on the correctness of the database schema. It would be silly to have two entries for "Database schema", one that says "Up to date" and one that might report inconsistencies.

One-line patch attached; all it does is change a string.

Most people know what an update is, less know what a schema is. So it stands on its own as well as avoiding the confusion with schema.module.

Setting RTBC.

I agree that this cleans up some confusion, although I guess "updatdes" was not used to not repeat the "update" word (ie. "up to date") is one of the status values. Anyway, I don't have a better wording idea for this, so committed.
