Rename "3D map views" into "3D Map scenes" #63761

Description

What is the bug or the crash?

In View menu you get the path below

Image

where a "New 3D globe view" is next to "New 3D map view" both sub-items of "3D map views". This structure implies IMHO that "3D Globe view" is a type of "3D map view". Confusing, right? But it gets awfully messy when you try to document them and refer to "3D map view". Are you talking about the parent (both globes and maps) or the child only?

Reason why I suggest we use another name to generically identify both the items, and avoid confusion (and headaches for writers).
Any other name suggestion welcome.

Steps to reproduce the issue

see above
