generate_header: fix handling of escape sequences The string in the source file can be C-escaped. We can copy them directly as-is in the catcomp block (the C compiler will then handle the escapements), but we have to adjust the length to be the one after the escapements are processed.
Amiga applications use a locale catalog format based on IFF. It is fairly simple:
type: CTLG
chunks: FVER, LANG, CSET, STRS
FVER: the standard version chunk; contain the version of the app to be localized
LANG: holds a string which is the name of the target language
CSET: I don't know what this is, apparently unused.
STRS: the translated strings. The format is 2 DWORDs followed by the string data. The first dword is the string ID, the second is the length. Each string is padded so each entry in the table starts on a DWORD boundary.
String lookup is done by ID only, unlike the Haiku native catalog formats which does lookup by strings instead. This is faster as there is no need to hash the source string, and no possibility of hash collision.
