OK, so I guess this change should be done only on macOS (but not on
TTY frames displayed on macOS).

Well, C-mouse-3 shows the caption of a menu on MS-Windows, so I see no
problem with showing "Context menu" there (or any other string, if we
find a better one, actually).  That serves as a small description of
what this menu is about.
