appdata: translate=no properties

It appears that the appstream project no longer supports
translatable=no properties, and gettext extract them as translatable.

I opened an issue to inform about the situation, but translatable=no
properties are not accepted by developers. You can find the issue
here: `ximion/appstream#623

Please test your script or string extraction process before merging this PR.

In MetaInfo files, each individual paragraph of a description
(or enumerated entry) is translated individually, however,
you can only exclude the complete block from being translated
by adding translate="no" to the description element.

appdata: Add developer ID

Flathub requires a developer tag and developer ID. Also Appstream decided to use rdns structure for developer ID.

It allows reverse-dns IDs like sh.cozy, de.geigi or Fediverse handle (like @user@example.org)

A developer tag with a name child tag must be present.
Only one developer tag is allowed and the name tag also must be present only once in untranslated form.

<developer id="tld.vendor">
  <name>Developer name</name>
</developer>

Source: https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/metainfo-guidelines/#name-summary-and-developer-name

The element should have a id property, containing a unique ID to identify the component developer / development team. It is recommended to use a reverse-DNS name, like org.gnome or io.github.ximion, or a Fediverse handle (like @user@example.org) as ID to achieve a higher chance of uniqueness.

Thanks @yakushabb !

At first I thought it wasn't possible to tag blocks as "not translatable", I was surprised as it is a nice feature (especially for small apps like Diffuse that don't have an army of translators to translate each and every release). But it's just a renaming, so it's a-ok!

Also ok for the dev ID (I actually don't really know what to put here). And how about removing developer_name as it is officially deprecated now?

[yakushabb]

If you remove the 'developer_name' tag, LTS releases cannot display the developer name.

Gotcha! Thanks 😉
