These strings had been replaced over time and the original versions
marked ***OUTDATED*** to allow for the original wordings to be reused
by the translators who had only translated the original ones.
(See lang/README-programmers.txt.)
Now, these strings have all been updated in every language, so it's
time to clean them up!
I put a main focus on the first cutscenes in the game, changing the
first "Uh oh..." from something like "Oh dear..." to "Oh no..." to make
sure it always sounds right. (The real translation of "Uh oh" is "O-o",
but that seemed too easy to read wrong for the first line in the game
that I wanted to avoid it altogether.)
Now that the language files are fairly stable, we should be able to do
this without any accidental reverts taking place (if any do happen, it
should be easy to see and prevent)

Partial final strings for Esperanto
This does not yet include the new localization credits, but I already
had all the other strings.

Final strings for Dutch
I also decided to change AVOID from ONTWIJKEN to ONTWIJK, to make it
a bit more fitting as if it's an actual word enemy with length
restrictions, heh. (Not that it's an abbreviation - it's just an
imperative instead of an infinitive. And those terms I had to look up)
This was easier than I expected - just add an optional buttons="1"
attribute to cutscenes.xml. It's treated like the speaker attribute -
it's only there as context for the translator, and for the cutscene
test.
Due to rebasing messiness and diff noise, it's probably best if pull
requests either don't sync all the language files at all (and only
modify the English ones) OR only do it as a final commit. It's still
something we need to figure out, lol.
Did another complete proofread of all the non-roomnames (hadn't looked
through *everything* in a while), and it's just three little things
that I felt would be important enough to tweak.
