(Redmine issue: #4789)

Because message catalogs can be updated with different commands (with makefile during development and with hawat-cli utility when installed from Debian package), the information about source location can result in unnecessary changes. This patch removes these locations to fix this issue, but in the future it would be better to come up with different solution. I have not implemented that right now, because there is another version of mentat-reporter.py behing the horizon, which merges Hawat`s and Mentat`s message catalogs. (Redmine issue: #4789)

When Mentat is installed from Debian packages, there is a possibility now to update local reporting translations with prepared 'hawat-cli repintl' command. When installed directly from git repository local makefile should be used instead, otherwise paths to library and template files are not set up correctly. (Redmine issue: #4789)

The makefile target 'develop' now pre-builds web interface artifacts. There is a new example configuration file for Apache2 that demonstrates the necessary configuration for Git installations. There is a custom WSGI script file for easier web interface installation from Git. (Redmine issue: #4216)

There are additional context item actions hidden behind the caret in item (group, user) detail page. It was not obvious, hopefully the different icon will be better to understand. Alternatively all buttons could be brought to toplevel, I am however reluctant to do that, because the labels are too long. (Redmine issue: #4874)

Proper term was "time ago". (Redmine issue: #5018)

Removed unnecessary duplicit section about installation. (Redmine issue: #3361)

The installation manual was enhanced with the option of installing the project directly from Git repository. This option overlaps with the installation process for local development, so the development documentation page was also updated accordingly. (Redmine issue: #4216)

Hawat contains several application path calculations relative to application root path. The mechanism was broken, because these configurations were evaluated on compilation time and the APP_ROOT_PATH had then no effect. (Redmine issue: #4216)

This module does get executed very often as root and the log file may have root privileges. It should be rotated with separate configuration. This may however raise errors with duplicate configuration by logrotate, some versions do not allow configuration overriding. We will see, how this fix fares and perhaps another solution may be necessary.

I have removed explicit path to Python executable to prevent from any errors when moving Python venv for Mentat around the system.

Users are not happy when they enter empty help page. It is better to hide it until there is some useful content.

New mechanism for building Debian packages makes better use of debhelper. Previous solution with using Grunt for building the package was abandoned entirely. (Redmine issue: #3387,#4216)
