9387186083 Use setLevelDirError for level not found & parse errors
This exports the previously-internal setLevelDirError function in
FileSystemUtils and uses it for if a level is not found or there was a
parsing error. Previously, if a level failed to load in these ways, it
would take you to the error screen with no error, while printing it to
the console. But this makes it more user-friendly.

As a bonus, the text is localizable, just like the existing usage of
FILESYSTEM_setLevelDirError for if a path couldn't be mounted.

943362559c Adapt font size as needed for "Credits" title in rolling credits
In Italian, "Credits" is "Riconoscimenti", which runs offscreen with
the 3x font size that this title uses in the rolling credits at the end
of the game. I'm not sure if the translators saw that specific
instance, or thought the limit complaint was about the main menu button
all along (which is more prominent and *does* stick out far enough that
the complaint could plausibly have been about that, from a translator's
perspective!)

Either way, it's solved now: this string's width is now checked, and if
it will run offscreen at 3x size, it will now be displayed at 2x size
instead. The limit has been increased from 13 to 20 in the language
files accordingly.

f3cf771cc8 CTRL+, and CTRL+. to modify platv
`platv` is a room property that controls platform speed, and it has
always worked (other than some weird storage issues due to a bug).
However, the editor has no way to edit it currently, so people had to
resort to editing the level file by hand, or with a third-party tool.
This commit simply adds an easy way to modify platform speed.

a2c3f47748 Add button glyphs support to selection hint on language screen
The language screen has a "Press Space, Z, or V to select" hint, which
I forgot to update for supporting button glyphs in #943, so this commit
does.

    <action_hint>Press Space, Z, or V to select</action_hint>
    <gamepad_hint>Press {button} to select</gamepad_hint>

65d9d9a0d8 Make Violet's button dialogue work in cutscene test
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.

e55e9efd9b Add controller button layout mappings
This adds mappings from SDL's Xbox-based SDL_GameControllerButton
constants, to glyphs for the following layouts:

- LAYOUT_NINTENDO_SWITCH_PRO,
- LAYOUT_NINTENDO_SWITCH_JOYCON_L,
- LAYOUT_NINTENDO_SWITCH_JOYCON_R,
- LAYOUT_DECK,
- LAYOUT_PLAYSTATION,
- LAYOUT_XBOX,
- LAYOUT_GENERIC,

There may still be errors in these, but they should be mostly correct.
I'm leaving it up to Ethan to make it show the correct button glyphs
for the correct controllers being connected (and possibly to fix these
mappings where needed).

09365347b6 Replace ACTION in texts by {button} placeholders

620365614d Add textbuttons() script command, make Violet's ENTER dialogue dynamic
Violet's dialogue now looks like this:

squeak(purple)
text(purple,0,0,2)
Remember that you can press {b_map}
to check where you are on the map!
position(purple,above)
textbuttons()
speak_active

The new textbuttons() command sets the next textbox to replace {b_map}
with the map button, and {b_int} with the interact button. The
remaining keys would be added as soon as they need to be added to
ActionSets.h as well.

3354a1a352 Add support for button glyph display
This adds a function that converts an action (such as interacting
in-game) to the corresponding button text ("ENTER", "E") or button
glyph (PlayStation triangle, Steam Deck Y, etc). This function
currently only gives the existing ENTERs or Es, because I don't know
how best to detect controller usage, or whether the game is running on
a Steam Deck, or what buttons need to be displayed there. Still, it
should now be really easy to adapt the rendering of keyboard keys to
consoles, controllers, or rebound keys.

To identify the actions that currently need to be displayed, this
commit also adds the initial enums for action sets as described by
Ethan in a comment in #834 (Jan 18, 2022).

975d555a09 Sync language files
This updates all language files to the latest version.

- Some minor errors are also fixed - for example, a small number of
  changes were made to the English string instead of the translation.
  Alignment of the dimensional stability generator terminal is also
  improved in several languages.

- I also discovered that the string "Complete the game" appears twice -
  and has, to be consistent with adjacent strings, two separate
  translations in Portuguese (PT). So this string now properly has two
  different cases so it can be translated separately.

- The limit for TIME/SHINY/LIVES has been bumped from 7 to 8

d1f6c1adf2 Replace "by" for level authors with happy face
"by {author}" is a string that will cause a lot of localization-related
problems, which then become much worse when different languages and
levels can also need different fonts:

- If the author name is set to something in English instead of a name,
  then it'll come out a bit weird if your VVVVVV is set to a different
  language: "de various people", "por various people", etc. It's the
  same problem with Discord bots completing "playing" or "watching" in
  their statuses.

- Translators can't always fit "by" in two letters, and level creators
  have understandably always assumed, and will continue to assume, that
  "by" is two letters. So if you have your VVVVVV set to a language that
  translates "by" as something long, then:
  | by Various People and Others |
  ...may suddenly show up as something like:
  |thorer Various People and Othe|

- "by" and author may need mutually incompatible fonts. For example, a
  Japanese level in a Korean VVVVVV needs to be displayed with "by" in
  Korean characters and the author name with Japanese characters, which
  would need some very special code since languages may want to add
  text both before and after the name.

- It's very possible that some languages can't translate "by" without
  knowing the gender of the name, and I know some languages even
  inflect names in really interesting ways (adding and even replacing
  letters in first names, surnames, and anything in between, depending
  on gender and what else is in the sentence).

So to solve all of this, the "by" is now replaced by a 10x10 face from
sprites.png, like a :viridian: emote. See it as a kind of avatar next
to a username, to clarify and assert that this line is for the author's
name. It should be a fairly obvious/recognizable icon, it fixes all the
above problems, and it's a bonus that we now have more happy faces in
VVVVVV.

9747843c18 Add menu for selecting the level font
By default, when you open the level editor to start a new level, the
level font will now match your VVVVVV language; so if you're, say,
Japanese, then you can make Japanese levels from the get-go. If you
want to make levels for a different target audience, you can change the
font via a new menu (map settings > change description > change font).
The game will remember this choice and it will become the new initial
level font.

5dad6b38be Add language-specific font configuration
meta.xml can now have a <font> tag, which gives the name of the font
that the language needs. This will directly control the interface font
when the language is active, and will soon also control the font used
for each option on the language screen.

3937a12a85 Add cutscene test menu
This allows translators to test all text boxes in the scripts. It
doesn't run the scripts themselves - it only shows the basic appearance
of each text box individually, so context may be lost but it's good to
have a way to see any text boxes that might otherwise not be easily
seen because they require specific circumstances to appear.

6a1ddad8f8 Add cases for intermission replay options, button fillers in editor
The strings "Vitellary"/"Vermilion"/"Verdigris"/"Victoria" now have two
cases to support changing them for the intermission replay menu options
(like "with Vitellary").

Also, the string "< and > keys change tool" is now "{button1} and
{button2} keys change tool", so it can be changed dynamically without
having to retranslate the string.

795bdf886b Add support for string cases in strings.xml (gendered Rescued/Missing)
I wanted to not complicate the system with different string cases (like
cgettext) if possible, and I have been able to keep the main strings a
simple English=Translation mapping thus far, but apparently strings
like "Rescued!" (which are one string in English), have to be
translated for the correct gender in some languages. So this was a good
time to add support for string cases anyway.

It's a number that can be given to a string to specify the specific
case it's used, to disambiguate identical English keys. In the case of
"Rescued!" and "Missing...", male versions of the string are case 1,
female versions are case 2, and Viridian being missing is case 3. Of
course, if a language doesn't need to use different variants, it can
simply fill in the same string for the different cases.

If any other string needs to switch to different cases: distinguish
them in the English strings.xml with the case="N" attribute (N=1 and
higher), sync language files from the translator menu (existing
translations for the uncased string will simply be copied to all cases)
and change loc::gettext("...") to loc::gettext_case("...", 1),
loc::gettext_case("...", 2), etc.

88c8ad5a57 Add per-area untranslated roomname counters

80b9bcf0dd Add level exploring menu for translators
I would, of course, recommend translators to translate the roomnames
while playing the full game (optionally in invincibility) so they can
immediately get all the context and maybe the most inspiration. And if
you want to go back into a specific level, then there's always the time
trials and intermission replays which will give you full coverage of
all the room names.

However, the time trials weren't really made for room name translation.
They have some annoying features like the instant restart when you
press ENTER at the wrong time, they remove context clues like
teleporters and companions, but the worst problem is that the last room
in a level is often completely untranslatable inside the time trials
because you immediately get sent to the results screen...

So, I added a new menu in the translator options, "explore game", which
gives you access to all the time trials and the two intermissions, from
the same menu. All these time trials (which they're still based off of,
under the hood) are stripped of the annoying features that come with
time trials. These are the changes I made to time trial behavior in
translator exploring mode:

- No 3-2-1-Go! countdown
- No on-screen time/death/shiny/par
- ENTER doesn't restart, and the map menu works. The entire map is also
  revealed.
- Prize for the Reckless is in its normal form
- The teleporters in Entanglement Generator, Wheeler's Wormhole and
  Level Complete are restored as context for room names (actually, we
  should probably restore them in time trials anyway? Their "press to
  teleport" prompt is already blocked out in time trials and they do
  nothing other than being a checkpoint. I guess the reason they were
  removed was to stop people from opening the teleporter menu when that
  was not specifically blocked out in time trials yet.)
- The companions are there at the end of levels, and behave like in no
  death mode (become happy and follow you to the teleporter). Also for
  context.
- At the end of each level, you're not suddenly sent to the menu, but
  you can use the teleporter at your leisure just like in the
  intermission replays. In the Final Level, you do get sent to the menu
  automatically, but after a longer delay.

I made another mark on VVVVVV: don't be startled, I added gamestates.
I wanted all teleporters at the end of levels to behave like the ones
at the end of the intermission replays, and all handling for
teleporting with specific companions is already done in gamestates, so
rather than adding conditional blocks across 5 or so different
gamestates, it made more sense to make a single gamestate for
"teleporting in translator exploring mode" (3090). I also added an
alternative to having to use gamestate 3500 or 82 for the end of the
final level: 3091-3092.

One other thing I want to add to the "explore game" menu: a per-level
count of how many room names are left to translate. That shouldn't be
too difficult, and I'm planning that for the next commit.
