Thanks to <https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/5237> we can now extract the knowledge currently embedded in Transifex and put it directly in our source. This positively affects <https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/3754>.
Translation instructions and knowledge that comes out of localization-related questions should be preserved in the source, because Transifex is too ephemeral. For example, the links from <https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/2290> are no longer accessible. Even when they are, it's quite useful to have this information around while dealing with the code as well, and I also hope it'll be informative to contributors who seldom visit Transifex.
This commit also makes a few minor changes to obviate the need for comments where possible.
This commit standardizes the various todos around the code a bit in a manner recognized by LDoc.
Besides drawing more attention by being displayed in the developer docs, they're also extractable with LDoc on the command line:
```sh
ldoc --tags todo,fixme *.lua
```
However, whether that particular usage offers any advantage over other search tools is questionable at best.
* and some random beautification
This introduces context to our strings to differentiate them when necessary.
The syntax chosen is `C_()`, following [glib](https://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.28/glib-I18N.html#C-:CAPS).
```lua
local _ = require("gettext")
local C_ = _.pgettext
C_("Menu|StyleTweaks|", "Pages")
```
Closes#5232.

Given an entry in the PO file like the following:
```
msgctxt "systemstat"
msgid " Total"
msgstr "Totaal"
```
It can be addressed using:
```lua
local _ = require("gettext")
local C_ = _.pgettext
C_("systemstat", " Total")
```
This allows to distinguish between separate instances of the same string, for example "Pages" meaning "Number of pages" and "Pages" meaning "Display of pages".
Extraction of this code pattern is not yet implemented by nightswatcher. xgettext didn't yet support Lua back in 2013 when all this was first added to the program, but now it does. Therefore it might make the most sense to replace the current Python extraction script with xgettext itself.
By default it only understands gettext.pgettext(), but that can be addressed by passing some extra command line arguments, for example:
```
xgettext -l lua -c --keyword=C_:1c,2 *.lua
```
Bump crengine: background image and other fixes:
- View HTML: option to show text unicode codepoints
- Fix attribute parsing: decode &-encoded chars
- Text: allow wrap after more unicode spaces and hyphen
- Fix: no left hanging when hanging punctuation disabled
- lvtextfm.cpp: more comments, some formatting cleanup
- Optimize background image drawing
- CSS: fix background-image file path resolution
Bump luasec to 0.8.1
Bump harfbuzz to 2.6.0
cre.cpp:
Adds setBackgroundImage() proxy function to crengine
facility to set background textures (this is unrelated
to the background-image CSS fixes).
No frontend code (yet) to select such an image.
View HTML: adds a 3rd view (extended debug view), showing the
unicode codepoint of each char and crengine rendereing methods.
- show icons or letters as prefix of items
- various footer separators
- progress percentage format with decimal digits
- time in 12/24 format
- two duration formats (1:30, 1h30')
- move some options into Settings submenu
