Bump the CMake version requirement, fix Windows
- Add a missing runtime library for gettext-tools. - Remove the no longer necessary customized FindGettext.cmake, since the downloaded gettext binaries are new enough. - Make the installer at least ask to uninstall previous versions. - Adjust the PATH of tests so that they'll run on Windows directly. - Fix quoting so that the project will build inside paths with spaces. - Resolve a GSettings deprecation warning. - Update the README's build instructions as appropriate. - Require CMake 3.9 because of the README's suggestion to fix FindPkgConfig.cmake manually using separate_arguments(UNIX_COMMAND). Tested build configurations: - native Arch Linux, - native Windows XP with the newest NSIS, - Arch Linux Mingw-w64 i686 Win32Depends.cmake NSIS cross-build + XP, - Arch Linux Mingw-w64 x86_64 MSYS2 NSIS cross-build + Windows 10. Detected issues: - The file save dialog will not add the extension automatically, seen with MSYS2.
