No way to stop "once" timer recordings, and YELLOW button label in Timer overview is misleading

When there are timer recordings running, RED and REC bring up a menu with an option Stop timer recordings. If the menu item is selected, it goes to the Timer overview screen.

The YELLOW button hint offers to Enable disabled timers, Disable running repeat timers, and Disable other timers except running "once" timers. Disable on a running repeat timers brings up a menu with various options for stopping and disabling the timer.

When a running "once" timer is highlighted, the YELLOW button hint is blank, and the YELLOW button has no effect.

The YELLOW button should have a "Stop recording" hint when a running "once" timer is highlighted, and perform that function. It should also have a hint like "Stop/Disable" when a running repeat timers is highlighted, and have the function that it has now. The remainder of the Timer overview hints and function can remain unchanged.

If the Timer overview screen is entered from live TV using the TIMER button, it has the same problems.

I have coded and tested a fix for this bug, and it can be made available in the repository at any time.

Reproduction steps

Create a running "once" timer and a repeat timer. INFO, then GREEN Add timer is a convenient way of doing this. Don't create instant recording timers from RED or REC in live TV. They use a different stop recording method.

Then go to the Timer overview screen (RED or REC from live TV, then select Stop timer recording, or TIMER from live TV). When the repeat timer is in focus, the YELLOW button hint shows "Disable", but pressing YELLOW give a menu with more options than just disabling the timer. When the "once" timer is in focus, the YELLOW button hint is blank, and it has no effect. The only option that works is to stop the timer by deleting it.
