Rename "provider" field and make it optional

Feature request

User level: Beginners

Description

The "Provider" field in the account setup is confusing for users. I first had to read all the other fields until I decided that "provider" is probably just the "title" for the account.

The field should be a) optional and at the end of the field list, and b) auto-filled with the domain sans scheme.

Benefit / value

The account form is not as confusing as it is now.

Risk / caveats

No idea

+1 'Provider' is a bad name for this. I see it's "Fournisseur" in the authors' native language so it's a literal translation. After puzzling what it meant I too guessed it was just a distinguishing name. i suggest 'account name'. It's a simple change, but would need the screenshots regenerated. Alternatively, insert 'nextcloud' as a default.
