Title Text Properties context menu for Long and Short Instrument Name Text properties for InstrumentLong and InstrumentShort

Changed title back to the actual terms used in Style > Text Styles dialog.

Is there a reason not to allow this? I understand instrument names, being generated on the fly, might behave different from others. Especially "short" names, which can appear and disappear over different measures as layout changes. It's easy enough to enable it, though.
