Take ownership of mintupdate translations

This will make it easier to backport mintupdate
across multiple versions of Linux Mint, without
having to worry about matching versions of translations
in mint-translations.

Hide level column by default

Levels are still useful after finding a regression, in which case
the user might want to apply them group by group, but not before then
anymore, in which case the recommendation is to apply all updates and
restore a system snapshot if a regression is found.

Replace update policies with a welcome screen.

The introduction of system snapshots allows us to
recommend all updates without caution.

The concept of regression is still important to explain
but the recommendation becomes completely different.

Rather than to recommend caution (although that will
still be important when troubleshooting a regression),
we can recommend system snapshots.

The core concepts remain the same (stability-regression and
security/bug-fixes), but no longer have to be balanced against
one another.

The message is much clearer to the user and doesn't lead to misinterpretation:

- Set up snapshots
- Update everything
