Fix the way we handle translated event names

Here is what Linus reported:

 I think you have made a mistake in trying to translate some of
 libdivecomputer.c

 Translating some of those things based on locale is *wrong*, because
 they are saved in the XML file.

 That covers at least the warnings: they'll get translated when you
 import them, and then saved to the XML file as that translation, but
 now if you start subsurface in another locale, they will not get
 translated back.

 So translating XML file contents is fundamentally buggy. It just
 shouldn't be done.

 So all the "translations" for the event handling are buggy, and
 generate crap. Please don't do that. Leave them as English.

And of course he is absolutely right. However, instead of not translating
them at all, this commit fixes things a better way - we now mark the
strings for translation but store the original English strings everywhere
(in the in-memory data structure as well as in the XML file). Only when we
actually display something on the screen (in a tooltip or in the filter
dialog) do we actually translate the strings into the native language.

This should address both Linus' issue and the desire to have localized
event texts.
