Rename standard Timeline activity types

The four standard activity types -- "Update", "Meeting", "Email", and "Call" are very limited in how they can be edited.

We do not want to use the "Call" activity, because I actually have three different custom call types that I've created, and this one can't be renamed. Therefore, I've deactivated "Call". However, it still counts towards my limit of 10 Activity types.

I would like to change "Meeting" to "In-Person Meeting". We meet in person with our customers rarely, so I'm concerned that CSMs will think that "Meeting" is actually a Activity type they could use for generic/miscellaneous calls.

"Email" cannot even be deactivated. We do not want our CSMs to be tracking their emails in Timeline. If they have something substantial, they can log it as an "Update". However, this still counts towards my limit of 10 Activity types.
