refactor: use the term unmount instead of dismount (#1478)
* refactor: use UNMOUNT instead of DISMOUNT in code This change updates the term DISMOUNT in constants to UNMOUNT. Other occurrences (e.g. variable names) are left alone for now. * refactor(ui): use unmount instead of dismount This change updates the GUI text and replaces dismount with unmount. * docs: update term dismount -> unmount * refactor(cmdline): add unmount This change adds an argument 'unmount' for command line usage, while trying to deprecate the old disnount argument. The current dismount argument/flag will still work to not introduce a breaking change. * docs: mention that /dismount is deprecated This change fixes the shorthand version of the argument /unmount It also adds back the info for /dismount and that it is deprecated.

<h1>How to Remove Encryption</h1>
<p>Please note that VeraCrypt can in-place decrypt only <strong>partitions and drives
</strong>(select <em>System</em> &gt; <em>Permanently Decrypt System Partition/Drive
</em>for system partition/drive and select <em>Volumes -&gt; Permanently Decrypt </em>
for non-system partition/drive). If you need to remove encryption (e.g., if you no longer need encryption) from a
<strong>file-hosted volume</strong>, please follow these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Mount the VeraCrypt volume. </li><li>Move all files from the VeraCrypt volume to any location outside the VeraCrypt volume (note that the files will be decrypted on the fly).
-</li><li>Dismount the VeraCrypt volume. </li><li>delete it (the container) just like you delete any other file. </li></ol>
+</li><li>Unmount the VeraCrypt volume. </li><li>delete it (the container) just like you delete any other file. </li></ol>
<p>If in-place decryption of non-system partitions/drives is not desired, it is also possible in this case to follow the steps 1-3 described above.<br>
<br>
In all cases, if the steps 1-3 are followed, the following extra operations can be performed:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>If the volume is partition-hosted (applies also to USB flash drives)</strong>
</li></ul>
