Make about window a bit taller so it fits the average amount of text

... without scrolling.

This completes my about window treatment for all replicants. It is my
hope that BAboutWindow will be used by all apps that need an about
dialog instead of using a BAlert.

Add the authors back to AboutWindow.h, also use <> style for email addresses

Fix build, that's what I get for committing without testing first.

There is nothing to translate in the initial copyright string, it is just '(c) %years% %holder%'

Move AboutPosition() method up.

Get rid of the _Init() method in BAboutWindow, just the single constructor body.

Instead of destroying the BAboutWindow object on close, Hide() it, then on the destructor of the calling window call Quit() explicitly to destroy it.

Add version variety to the end of the version string (alpha, beta, etc.)

Move the app icon down a bit.

Get the icon and version from FindApp which works whether or not the app is currently running. This makes process controller show it's icon and version even though it lives in Deskbar.

Pass in 128 as an icon_size to GetTrackerIcon(), this makes it grab a nice 128x128 HVIF icon

Use a quit bool in B_ABOUT_REQUESTED to indicate that the about window has quit instead of using kAboutWindowClosed message. This prevents message signature clashes.

Set the about window object to NULL on close or quit.

Pass the BHandler object that opened the about window to BAboutWindow.
When the window closes, send a kAboutWindowClosed message back to the
handler. This allows the handler to set the variable to NULL.

Implement the new about dialog constructor in all apps that use it.
Remove the old constructor. This now works reliably for all cases I
tested without crashing and does the right thing on close. The setup
and teardown is a bit more complicated than I wanted though.
Unfortunately this seems to be necessary when not using a BAlert.

Fetching the app icon does not work reliably yet. This is because for
replicants the app may not be running. I may have to pass the icon in
instead of grabbing it from the signature.

WIP: Create the about dialog once, hide and show, Quit() when object is destroyed.

Modify about window to take an app signature.

* Grabs the app icon and version from the resource file.
* Allow you to specify the copyright holder instead of hardcoding
"Haiku, Inc."
* Support multiple extra copyright fields.
* Modify BAlert to take a custom icon.
* Set the custom icon of the BAlert to the app icon.
* Also set the app version.

* Convert BAboutWindow to derive from BWindow
* Place a 128x128 icon and fill out a scrolling BTextView
with options such as authors, version history, copyright,
license, etc. Still needs some work but is coming along.

* Add the word Version to the version line, i8n'ed of course,
and tweak the info box and default sizes.

Simplify use of translated strings in BAboutWindow.

* avoid duplicate initialization of variables by joining the
expressions.

Close alerts with ESCAPE key.

Added SetFlags(B_CLOSE_ON_ESCAPE) or SetShortcut(index, B_ESCAPE) to BAlerts
depending if the result gets used later in the code, or if it's a one-button
BAlert.

More catalog-related cleanup.

* rename B_TRANSLATE_CONTEXT to B_TRANSLATION_CONTEXT and
B_TRANSLATE_WITH_CONTEXT to B_TRANSLATE_CONTEXT, squashing a TODO
* adjust all uses of both macros in Haiku's source tree
* use correct header guard for collecting/Catalog.h

The renamed macros require adjustments to all external applications
using catalogs.

Fix #8452 (app's crashing for non-existent system catalog)

* make the system catalog a BCatalog instead of a BCatalogAddOn*,
such that using a non-existing system catalog won't crash but
simply return the untranslated string instead
* rename MutableLocaleRoster::GetSystemCatalog() to LoadSystemCatalog()
and adjust it to use BCatalog::SetTo() in order to replace the
data used by the given catalog
* adjust all users of gSystemCatalog accordingly

Merge liblocale.so into libbe.so.

* Make the locale kit a part of libbe.
* Drop the LocaleBackend kludge used from within libbe (and from
other places, too) in order to access system catalog strings.
This is now done via gSystemCatalog, which is provided and initialized
by libbe.
* Drop all references to liblocale.so from all Jamfiles.
* Add legacy symlink liblocale.so in order to keep optional packages
that rely on it in a working state.

TODO: the documentation hasn't been updated.

Enforced the newlines.
Localized alert "title" and close button label.
