Integer field types (short, long) - put the word "integer" back

[wayfaringrob]

In ArcMap, when adding a field, the options presented are Short Integer and Long Integer. In Pro, they are Short and Long. This is fine if you know what they are, but if you're learning GIS or forgot, including the word "integer" is a helpful reminder; I see no reason to take it away.

This also would mirror the online help documentation, which does include the word 'integer.' https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/geodatabases/overview/arcgis-field-data-types.htm

Here's another inconsistent naming of field types; I think I prefer this one given it is the most detailed -

Seems like the online help, field mapping, and field creation interfaces should get on the same page?

And now we have BigInteger (64bit) which have appeared since 3.2 that are not interchangeable with Long Integer or Short Integer in many tools. eg RelationshipClasses do not allow them as a valid type for a key.

@KimOllivierright. I tell students to add an integer field now, and they use that. 🤦🏼‍:male_sign:

clear and consistent naming would help...
