• Add new plugin signals: "document-before-save", "document-filetype-set", "geany-startup-complete".

• Add PLUGIN_SET_TRANSLATABLE_INFO macro to the plugin API so plugins' meta information can be translated already in the plugin manager dialog

(patch by Colomban Wendling).

• Use full function name for GeanyFunctions function pointers. This avoids naming conflicts e.g. with C++'s 'new' keyword.

• GeanyKeyBinding label fields can now contain underscores, which won't be displayed by Geany. This saves adding near-duplicate translation

strings.

editor_insert_text_block().
