Improve the resume dialog

"Main menu" is very unclear in this context: is that the main menu of
the Games application or the main menu of the game?

"Title screen" might be a more descriptive wording, but at the same time
it is better to use verbs for buttons.

In this case, we do have a great verb to use, "Reset", as a physical
reset button is common on many video games consoles.

Drop the cancel button when starting a game

The player just asked us to start a game, why would they want to cancel?

This seems like such a rare use-case that we don't need a button here,
especially as there's a workaround: they could just resume, and click
the back arrow to get back to the home page.

This makes the resume dialog less heavy, as it felt very crowded with 3
buttons for just a short line of text.
