Route the last hardcoded UI labels through the Strings catalog

Wrap the battle stat box, the PC quantity footer and the dex metric
labels in Strings() (SummaryMenu -- and MoveEffects since #811 --
already do this); give the battle menu a 'battle' lookup context so a
translation can shorten FIGHT/ITEM/RUN independently of the pause menu;
align the metric dex rows with the imperial ones and make the No.
prefix translatable; make the title menu's recolor zone follow Menu's
auto-grown width; honor the declared-but-unread boot.title seam,
drawing an explicit versionRibbon as one centered piece. With an empty
catalog every path is pixel-identical to vanilla.
