This makes mines much less frequent and spreads the asteroids out
much more. The other super-easy mode nerfs don't work on Mars, so
these custom nerfs are necessary to keep the difficulty consistent.
The code caused Kline's systemPower to be restored to full when
disabled. This would have had no effect on the code; the systemPower
variable is only used to add the FL_DISABLED flag when it reaches
0, and restoring systemPower has no effect on this. This might have
been an attempt to make it impossible to disable Kline, but it
wouldn't have worked that way (it might simply not have been noticed
because disabling Kline would take a ridiculous amount of time and
is unlikely to happen without conscious effort).
I had set it this way because it's how version 1.2 behaves, but
having experimented and looked at the 1.1 source code, the way I
changed it to is actually the original behavior! So, now it spreads
as in the original.

This is something I've been thinking of doing for awhile. The
automatic leaving can be frustrating if you were trying to collect
the money dropped by the enemy and you're suddenly forced out of
the mission. This prevents that by simply waiting to do the exit
sequence until no worthwhile collectables are left in the area.
Ellesh and Mars are excluded since this won't really work in those
areas. Also excluded by Classic and Nightmare difficulties.
I reduced the chance of smoke happening a given frame from 1/5 to 1/10,
and removed the check that stopped adding the "engine" effect to the
player if low on shield, so it now shows both when damaged.
At first I just went in to fix some places that were missing gettext
translations, but on the way as I was doing that, I noticed some
places where ngettext should be used, a bug in the fallback legacy
text rendering, and some things that could be structured better in
the Autoconf / Automake setup. Fixed those.
