i18n: German (de) covers the whole interface

#630 shipped German for the menus. This adds the other 3,213 strings, so
de.tsv has every entry of the Spanish catalog (3,590): panels, dialogs,
effects and their parameters, transitions, presets, Settings, shortcut
commands, export presets, tooltips and status messages. Same style as the
menus (du, infinitives, placeholders, ellipses and escapes kept); the
glossary in the header is extended. The 377 menu entries are unchanged.

german_entries_cover_the_original_menu_catalog required every entry to be
a menu label. It becomes german_covers_the_menus_and_has_no_dead_entries,
like the French and Italian tests: every entry needs a Spanish counterpart,
the core menus and the native macOS app menu are required, later strings
may stay English. german_renders_with_bundled_fonts checks the umlauts,
ß and German quotation marks against the bundled fonts.
