Hyphenation: German patterns in NOTICE; pattern files skip \message

Review follow-ups: the German patterns' MIT notice goes into NOTICE with
the other pattern sets; the pattern reader skips other commands'
arguments, so hyph-de-1996.tex's \message{} line no longer adds junk
patterns and exception words; a load test for the German set; the
status bar names a bare "de" tag; the docs list the languages with
their own hyphenation.
