Provide an update of the German translation.
* A lot of compound words were previously written with spaces, while
German orthography is relatively clear in that the components
should not be separated.
* When referring to the actual process of (de)compression rather than the
concept, replace “(De-)Kompression” with “(De-)Komprimierung”.
Previously, both forms were used in this context and are now used in a
manner consistent with “Komprimierung” being more likely to refer to
a process.
* Consistently translate “standard input”/“output”
* Use “Zeichen” instead of false friend “Charakter” for “character”
* Insert commas around relative clauses (as required in German)
* Some other minor corrections
* Capitalize “ß” as “ẞ”
* Consistently start option descriptions in --help with capital letters

* Update after msgmerge
As pointed out by Robert Pollak, there's a typo in the German
translation of the compression preset option (-0 ... -9) help text.
"The compressor" translates to "der Komprimierer", and the genitive
form is "des Komprimierers". The old word makes no sense at all.
The following is a copy of a comment inside fr.po:
Note from translator on "file status flags".
The following entry is kept un-translated on purpose. It is difficult to
translate and should only happen in exceptional circumstances which means
that translating would:
- lose some of the meaning
- make it more difficult to look up in search engines; it might happen one
in
a million times, if we dilute the error message in 20 languages, it will be
almost impossible to find an explanation and support for the error.
Although the old address is still working, the new one should
be preferred. So this commit changes all three places in de.po
accordingly.

Since the *.gmo files are deleted by the maintainer-clean target,
I assume they are not meant to be tracked.
Also add the other files listed in the Makefile’s clean targets
(stamp-poT, xz.po, xz.[12].po, *.new.po, xz.mo) to make sure they
are not accidentally tracked. Most of these are intermediate
files that would not appear unless a build is interrupted or
fails.
Split the list of untracked files by origin to make it easier to
tell if files are missing in the future.

Thanks to Marek Černocký.
Other people planning to translate xz: Note that the
messages are a little bit in flux still. Translations
are still welcome, just be prepared to some extra work
in case there are changes.
