[pgadmin4][patch] Remove (...) from links

От

Hi Hackers!

A lot of the links in the app's dropdown menu had a trailing (...), which made it seem like there was truncated text. This makes it harder to read and can be confusing. This patch removes the ellipses. 

Thanks!
Shirley & Sarah

That is an extremely long-standing convention to denote a menu option
that will open a new window/dialog before taking the action, rather
than taking the action immediately.

See the menus in pretty much any Apple or Microsoft application for examples.
