The tips are not enabled in Translations/locale.xml yet, because the
font currently used to display them in FlightGear's splash screen
doesn't have the required glyphs (see [1] for more details). Better
display English tips than empty rectangles on the startup screen.
Merging this in disabled state now has a few advantages compared to
waiting for the font problem to be solved:
- avoid that someone ignoring the merge request[1] duplicates the
translation work;
- allow easy updating of these tips;
- make sure they aren't forgotten when FG's localization files are
converted to XLIFF format.
Ship an empty Translations/zh_CN/options.xml, otherwise
'fgfs --language=zh_CN --help --verbose' won't work at all.

This translated string has been removed from Translations/en/menu.xml in
commit f3ac93b1ef. Remove its translations
from the other Translations/*/menu.xml files that still have it.
This translated string has been removed from Translations/en/menu.xml in
commit ff87cf4257. Remove its translations
from the other Translations/*/menu.xml files that still have it.
Use RIGHTWARDS ARROW for each arrow, surrounded by two NO-BREAK SPACE
characters. This prevents line breaking in the middle or at the edges of
such arrows.
Also explicitly specify the UTF-8 encoding for Translations/en/tips.xml,
even though this is implicit with XML when unspecified.
Translations/fr/sys.xml: add accented characters (using UTF-8 encoding)
now that the splash screen supports them.
Translations/fr/options.xml: fix typos, document --download-dir and
recode the file to UTF-8.
Also remove <intl include="Translations/locale.xml"/> from
preferences.xml. Something equivalent based on readProperties() is done
in FlightGear (cf. FGLocale::FGLocale() in
flightgear/src/Main/locale.cxx).
Add the translation for the <download-dir-desc> switch and update the one
for the <metar-desc> one.
Also change "tempo" to "orario" in menu.xml to be consistent with the
term choice in options.xml.
Following FlightGear commit 0cfa4ced9cd5e2ec26e753ddd5f61da7558221a6,
mention in the output of 'fgfs --help --verbose' that the --metar option
automatically implies --disable-real-weather-fetch.
- Fix documentation for --aircraft-dir: the specified path is
interpreted relatively to the current directory, not to the path of
the fgfs executable.
- Add a few precisions (the option bypasses the <path-cache> from
autosave_X_Y.xml, as well as --fg-aircraft and FG_AIRCRAFT).
- Show the option documentation in 'fgfs --help -v' output (it was
"hidden" since 2010, but it works very well; cf.
<https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/34494887/> for
the most recent discussion about this option).
- Show the doc for --aircraft-dir right below that of --aircraft (both
being closely related).
- Add a pointer to --aircraft-dir in --fg-aircraft's doc, since the
former can be used as an alternative to the latter (or at least a
complement, since --fg-aircraft is used to determine some
permissions).
- Needs FlightGear compiled with -DENABLE_PACKAGE_SYSTEM.
- Shows only first 100 available aircrafts.
- Now progress indication on install/remove (need to reopen
dialog afterwards)
Fix the main bugs, add features and convert most of the layers.
Move/refactor some things as well. Add a canvas map dialog next to the
built-in one -- it's not 100% functional but it's quite close actually.
As before, the excitement has been taking place at our team clone.

(topics/canvas-map-dialog branch this time, current HEAD in above URL.)
Features:
- Various configurable styles.
- Working scroll bars, thanks to Tom
- Adequate REPL-ness.

N.B. This makes some (sane) changes to other Nasal files, including
expanding some of the Canvas API.
