Conversion to gettext to allow localization

This is just the first step - convert the string literals, try to catch
all the places where this isn't possible and the program needs to convert
string constants at runtime (those are the N_ macros).

Add a very rough first German localization so I can at least test what I
have done. Seriously, I have never used a localized OS, so I am certain
that I have many of the 'standard' translations wrong. Someone please take
over :-)

Major issues with this:

- right now it hardcodes the search path for the message catalog to be
  ./locale - that's of course bogus, but it works well while doing initial
  testing. Once the tooling support is there we just should use the OS
  default.

- even though de_DE defaults to ISO-8859-15 (or ISO-8859-1 - the internets
  can't seem to agree) I went with UTF-8 as that is what Gtk appears to
  want to use internally. ISO-8859-15 encoded .mo files create funny
  looking artefacts instead of Umlaute.

- no support at all in the Makefile - I was hoping someone with more
  experience in how to best set this up would contribute a good set of
  Makefile rules - likely this will help fix the first issue in that it
  will also install the .mo file(s) in the correct place(s)

  For now simply run

  msgfmt -c -o subsurface.mo deutsch.po

  to create the subsurface.mo file and then move it to
  ./locale/de_DE.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/subsurface.mo

  If you make changes to the sources and need to add new strings to be
  translated, this is what seems to work (again, should be tooled through
  the Makefile):

  xgettext -o subsurface-new.pot -s -k_ -kN_ --add-comments="++GETTEXT" *.c
  msgmerge -s -U po/deutsch.po subsurface-new.pot

  If you do this PLEASE do one commit that just has the new msgid as
  changes in line numbers create a TON of diff-noise. Do changes to
  translations in a SEPARATE commit.

- no testing at all on Windows or Mac
  It builds on Windows :-)
