Bug#440990: glchess: please change "End game" to "Quit game" or "Close game"

Package: gnome-games
Version: 1:2.18.2.1-1
Severity: minor

I'm talking about Game->End game.

"End game" has a technical meaning in chess, so it is likely to
confuse users who know chess but are not so familiar with GNOME. I
observed one such user, who assumed that "End game" had something to
do with analysing the game.
