PCB and Footprint Editors: Context Menu "Fillet Lines" should include "..." suffix

Description

This is a minor GUI consistency issue.

In the PCB and Footprint Editors, when selecting a graphic object (e.g. rectangle) the context menu includes a Fillet Lines item. When selected, an Enter fillet radius dialog appears.

I believe it is common practice for a menu item name to include a ... suffix if a dialog appears before any action is performed. In this case, the context menu item should therefore be Fillet Lines...

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Footprint Editor or PCB Editor
  2. Draw a rectangle graphic
  3. Right-click on the rectangle to bring up the context menu.
    Fillet Lines should be Fillet Lines... as a dialog appears before any action is performed.
