Give DataGrid/Table Header ContextMenu a section header to better describe its functions

Most noticeable in the Network Table but any table that can toggle showing/hiding columns.

I'm not sure this approach is better. Do we have examples of system UI or a commonly used app that does this?

I could go either way. Safari has this in its Mute tabs context menus, but with a bit of other flair. Mail/Finder don't have things like this for their tables.

I had that and was convinced to switch to Displayed Columns, which provides a little more information about what the Check marks mean.
