Rename "admin" to "root" in GUI, because in fact it is "root" on BSD level.

Description
I think it will be more clear for new users and won't cause any misunderstandings.
- Status changed from New to Rejected
Both admin and root exist at the OS level but they each work in different ways. While the password for both accounts is synchronized, they are not the same. You can use admin in the GUI and admin over SSH. Renaming the GUI account to "root" offers no tangible benefit for the user.
Also renaming it would require massive amounts of documentation to be updated and it would be a very large POLA violation, requiring lots of education/retraining/support headaches for little to no gain.
Thanks Jim, for clarification.
