there was no reason to explicitly check whether to place a horizontal
next to another horizontal after all the other checks were done.

* Russian locale

* Russian locale. Plurals fix

eliminates flint and steel (aliased to mt_game fire:flint_and_steel)
eliminates fake_fire:fake_fire (aliased to mt_game fire:permanent_flame)

mt_game already provides a "fake" fire in the form of a "permanent flame", strike a coal block with flint/steel to get it.

modifies default ice block so that it can be "ignited" (ice fire on top) with mt_game flint/steel

Fire mod must be enabled. However, fire damage is NOT required.

just checks for creative mode/priv directly instead, as needed.

* add some translatable strings

* updated translations
add option --sort-by-file to updatepo.sh

* Updated de, pt, pt_BR translations
from pull requests #378 (Wuzzy) & #379 (afmachado)

pt.po and pt_BR.po are the same but pt.po is usable by any portuguese speaking people, not only brazilian ones

* improved french translation

(water is now blue like it used to be)

(they're too bright against the darker colors e.g. green)

use soft overlays for cover trim,

(get rid of redundant overlay polys)

before param2 coloring went in.

The intention of this is to fix books in peoples' inventories that are
now inaccessible.  They can be placed, viewed, edited like normal now.

Side effect: all books that were already in-world and that have already
been converted to the param2 colorization before will be grey now, and
most will end up turned some wierd direction, but that can be fixed with
the screwdriver.

If you need to re-color one of the now-grey books, you'll need to craft
one of the desired color, place it, and copy and paste your text from
the grey book.

Newly-placed colored books will behave normally.

- 'setting_get' with 'settings:get'
- 'setting_getbool' with 'settings:get_bool'

also fixed some bugs in bed handling
also got rid of the old, obsolete "placeholder" node, aliased it to air.

to set 256-color palette meta key on place
for those nodes that use it

use a local copy instead

And remove double craft definition

(one with brass handles, one chrome)

Fix calls to check_player_privs with player name instead of player userdata

Fixes #357

(if moreblocks is installed)
