This commit adds most of the code changes necessary for making the game
translatable, but does not yet "unhardcode" nearly all of the strings
(except in a few cases where it was hard to separate added
loc::gettexts from foundational code changes, or all the localization-
related menus which were also added by this commit.)
This commit is part of rewritten history of the localization branch.

The game previously did this dumb thing where it lumped in all its
settings with its file that tracked your records and unlocks,
`unlock.vvv`. It wasn't really an issue, until 2.3 came along and added
a few settings, suddenly making a problem where 2.3 settings would be
reset by chance if you decided to touch 2.2.
The solution to this is to move all settings to a new file,
`settings.vvv`. However, for compatibility with 2.2, settings will still
be written to `unlock.vvv`.
The game will prioritize reading from `settings.vvv` instead of
`unlock.vvv`, so if there's a setting that's missing from `unlock.vvv`,
no worries there. But if `settings.vvv` is missing, then it'll read
settings from `unlock.vvv`. As well, if `unlock.vvv` is missing, then
`settings.vvv` will be read from instead (I explicitly tested for this,
and found that I had to write special code to handle this case,
otherwise the game would overwrite the existing `settings.vvv` before
reading from it; kids, make sure to always test your code!).
Closes#373 fully.
These XML functions will be useful for de-duplicating copy-pasted XML
handling code, while also making it so elements will get updated in
place instead of being thrown out and starting from scratch every time a
file is saved.
