The term "my entire history" should be an indicator of time, not a class of data

Details

The word "history" has connotations about what kind of data it is talking about. The clear private browsing dialog even uses it to encompass a few different types of data. Many experienced browsers will also immediately think it is the pages you have visited. Using it in the drop down that is choosing what period of time to clear is I think wrong, we should instead use something that is purely a measure of time. The term "for all time" or something seem a much better choice, though I'm sure that is not right. As it stands my first use of the new CPD dialog left me extremely worried that it was about to remove everything I had and I think in the end I gave up and cancelled it.
