Rename Incident Reports (IRs) to Field Incident Reports (FIRs) #371

While Operating, I have had multiple times where a ranger would come up to the window and ask for an "incident number" in an unclear fashion. This was either asking for the IMS number for something or talking about a previous report they had submitted. The moment of confusion is something we can mitigate by changing the name to be something clearly distinct.

I propose using "Field incident reports" (FIRs) instead, in all places that they are referenced - the Ranger accessible page to generate them, the IMS entries themselves, and the backend list of FIRs themselves.

Related to this, having the number itself be "FIR-0001" will further differentiate from "IMS-0123" style numbers.

@virtual256 I myself have been challenged by the similarity and had been at a loss for a better name, but I like your suggestion.

How do we feel about shorting that to "field report", which makes it a little more distinct as well as shorter?

Taking out the overlapping "I" feels like a plus. I like it.
