* Changed default logging behaviour
We now log by default to a timestamped file in $datadir/logs/. No longer
shall restarting Manuskript after a crash wipe a very useful logfile.
Logs older than 35 days in the $datadir/logs/ directory are pruned
during startup. In case of subtle corruption detected a few weeks after
the fact, relevant logs might still exist to explain what had happened...
yet it does not come at the cost of infinitely gobbling up a users
storage space, either.
The --logfile (-L) argument can now utilize strftime() specifiers. A
special modifier %# is also supported which will insert the process id.
Besides being an added factor of uniqueness for a filename, it can also
be relevant to help identify the log file belonging to a misbehaving
Manuskript process.
* Added support-related items to Help menu
The 'Technical Support' item should lead to a landing page that will
guide the user to the most efficient way to resolve their problem.
How to report bugs and submit logs would be one of those.
The 'Locate Log File' item should open a file manager window with the
logfile of this session highlighted. Because Manuskript is still writing
to it, we first remind them of its limited use until Manuskript is
closed.
This approach was chosen because users might want to locate the file
prior to reproducing a bug, or because they'd like to look at other logs
from previous sessions.
* Updated translation files and added german translation

Manuskript now logs the versions of modules and libraries powering them
for as far those are easily accessible. This includes all the optional
modules, too. None of this is visible on the terminal of course - unless
Manuskript is run with the --verbose flag. This clears up the last bit
of unnecessary console spam, leaving our users blissfully unaware.
Until we (and/or Qt) break something again, that is...
Some snippets have yet to be converted due to the more complex nature
of those snippets, and to keep things neat a separate commit makes more
sense for those.
This is the quick way to patch this. I'd recommend changing the findFirstFile function in functions/__init__.py for a more permanent solution, but this should suffice for now.
When creating a new character, sets an appropriate importance level.
* If a character is selected, the new character has the same importance level.
* If a top-level importance level is selected, the new character has that level
* Otherwise, the importance level is zero
