[openlp-dev] Optional Split Saga

Provided the new button's caption compliments the old one, then there
shouldn't really be any need to change it from 'Optional Split'. Thus,
I would suggest that they should be 'Optional Split' and 'Forced
Split' with - and my muscle memory would hate me for saying this! -
the new button being in place of the old one as it seems to be the
logical place for it.

(I've not seen how the new button has been implemented; I am assuming
that either the space below the current button has been used, or the
button has been split (no pun intended) in two.)

If we were going *really* verbose with button captions, perhaps 'Split
here if needed' and 'Always split here' would be the way to go! (I am,
of course, joking!)
