- (#15121) Improve string cut-off for locale table

  TODO: document the defaults in the PHPdoc comments.

  TODO: we should write down a couple guidelines for these document them in
        the PHPDoc code of drupal_set_message()!  .

  We added a 'severity' column to watchdog():
    watchdog($type, $message, $link) --> watchdog($type, $message, $severity, $link);

    * Specify a severity in case you are reporting a warning or error.
    * The $link-parameter is now the fourth parameter instead of the third.

  TODO: document this in the upgrade guide.

- Patch 13180 by chx: renamed check_query() to db_escape_string() and implemtented it properly per database backend.

  Read the manual for pg_escape_string:  "Use of this function is recommended instead of addslashes()." Or read sqlite_escape_string: "addslashes() should NOT be used to quote your strings for SQLite queries; it will lead to strange results when retrieving your data."

- Patch #11728 by Uwe Hermann: fixed some typos in the code comments, Doxygen documentation and screen output.

  Uwe: I dropped the 'iff' chunks as 'iff' stands for 'if and only if'.

- Patch #11431 by Gerhard: made sure no empty strings are exported + replaced some double quotes by single quotes.

- Patch #11312 by Killes: rebuild the menu after importing a PO file.

- Patch #10472 by Gerhard and Steven: fixed bug when paging through the search results of the locale module.

- Patch #10859 by Gerhard: another attempt at fixing duplicate locale strings.

- Patch #10859 by killes: importing more than one po file could cause your database to contain more than one version of the source or the target string.

- Moved some documentation around and fixed a missing translation.

- Patch #10622 by Adrian: fixes various PostgreSQL related problems.

  1) Menu problems with Postgres (this is a highly critical 1 line fix)
  2) Archive module fails with Postgres
  3) Postgres setup problems - changes to database.pgsql (although i made these changes myself before finding this patch)
  4) Book module fails with Postgres
  5) Postgres problems following creation of a new type of user - which is actually about a taxonomy.module bug.
  6) Creating accregator_item_table in PostgreSQL
  7) Postgres - Polls not displayed on Poll Page
  8) Blog module has sql errors with postgres

  This should not affect MySQL users (hopefully).

- Fixing broken .po import (due to file.inc changes).
- Do not show error notice on import page when no languages have been added (no longer necessary due to ability to add-and-import in one step).
- Added a notice about importing possibly taking a while.
- Raised the PHP execution time limit for importing (if not in safe mode, similar to cron.php).

- Patch by JonBob: for consistency and readability, add brief descriptions of each source file inside the @file comment block at the head of the file. This helps with Doxygen indexing, and also allows neophytes to see what a file does immediately on opening the source, regardless of the organization of the hooks.

- Usability improvement: capitalize all header titles.

- Code improvements by Stefan: use capital letters for header titles (and added some missing t() functions).

- Code improvements by Stefan: made all status messages consistent (and easier to translate).
