[GRASS-dev] Upload/download in v.in.garmin

In v.in.garmin dialog it can be read:
*Upload* waypoints from gps
*Upload* routes from gps
*Upload* track from gps
but
Use gardump instead of gpstrans as the *download* program
I think the same expression should be used in all cases (download IMHO).

I agree, and struggled with what to call it.

It needs to be consistent with the g.messages within:
  "Receiving track ..."
  -e "Retrieving data."

and v.in.gpsbabel also:
  #% description: Upload Waypoints from GPS
  "Loading Waypoints from <$GIS_OPT_INPUT> ..."

I am happy with standardizing on "download", but it's slightly a matter
of perspective.

ps- hopefully these two modules can be combined one day (in another
language), with the download program given as an option list.
