i18n(de): complete and ship German

- Translate the remaining 1,868 strings in a neutral infinitive style (no
  Sie/du), with German compounds, decimal commas and CLDR one/other plurals.
- Review the #908 entries: knots are kn everywhere, the avionics codes BRG,
  CRS and DEST stay English like HDG and SPD, expand/collapse is
  ausklappen/einklappen, the radio toggle reads EIN/AUS, density SPARSE is
  DÜNN, the Thermal style is Wärmebild, German quotes in the shot prompt.
- Register de: catalog, LOCALES, LOCALE_NAMES (Deutsch), package boundaries,
  same-as-english (codes, product names, music genres, units).
- Tests: picker order and keyboard model with Deutsch, de/de-AT/de_CH
  normalization, browser de-DE resolves to German.
- docs/translations/de.md: style, plurals, units and glossary; TRANSLATORS.md
  and CURRENT-STATE.md list German.
