"me-web?" 0.7.0: the name in quotes, copy buttons, and every translation rewritten in plain words

- The name is now always written in quotation marks, each language with its own: “me-web?”, «me-web?», „me-web?“, « me-web? », 「me-web?」. Without them the question mark read as the end of a sentence. In Arabic, Hebrew and the other right-to-left languages the question mark no longer jumps to the wrong side of the name.
- Your addresses, your router, your network, the reverse name, the route and the code of a submission you sent now sit in a small box with a copy button, ready to paste into a message to your provider or anywhere else.
- Every translation except English and Italian was rewritten for people who are not technical: everyday words first, the technical term in brackets, and one word for one thing across the whole app. They are still machine drafts; "Suggest a correction" is welcome in any language.
- A few lines are plainer in English and Italian too: the test servers for calls, and the server in the middle that carries a call when two homes can't connect directly.
