The Codespaces product team has gotten some user feedback that the term
privacy field of port forwarding is confusing. Some quick user feedback has
indicated that a term like visibility is more clear, e.g. "port 3000 is publicly
visible" rather than "port 3000's privacy setting is public."

We believe that Codespaces is the only user of this term as we're not aware
of it showing up anywhere else (e.g. devcontainer.json). Please let me know
if this isn't the case.

This PR is what I believe the minimal change required to change the UI
to show "Visibility" vs "Privacy", though I don't claim that it's
complete (e.g. I am not sure how we handle localization), rather, a
place to start the conversation.

@alexr00, I've been told you are the right person to direct this to, and
would love to chat about this change in more detail.

The Codespaces product team has gotten some user feedback that the term
`privacy` field of port forwarding and that the term doesn't show up
elsewhere (e.g. `devcontainer.json`), so we think that we're the only
impacted group. Please let me know if this isn't the case.
