Improved the multi-language support, this includes: (#157)

* Added *.suo VS files to .gitignore.

* Improved the multi-language support, this includes:

- Added the possibility to specify which language is used. The specified language is saved in the configuration.
- If a new/empty or older configuration is present without a specified language, the language is automatically determinated based on the system language. If the system language is supported by SoundSwitch this language is used. If not, English is used.
- The language is loaded once at startup. If it's changed later inside the settings form a restart of the application is required.
- Added German as third supported language.

Code relevant changes:
- New directory for all localization files /Localization.
- Moved all control localizations from the *.Designer.cs files to it's own methods outside of the *.Designer.cs files.
- Naming for all localizations is lowerCamelCase.
- While updating the localizations i also changed some English texts. As a result these strings are untranslated now in French.
- Tweaked some labels to support a different length - that's important if a string is in another language longer then in English.

Important:
- If ANY text inside the forms (designer) is changer or the other way around any English texts inside the *.resx files - they needed to be synchronized!

Other by-the-way changes:
- Minor code-style changes in various files which doesn't affect the functionality.
- Synchronized all file headers and updated copyright notices.

ToDo:
- Update Readme.md and include Zeta Resource Editor project file for further translations as well as a new - for example - wiki article how language changes should be done.
- Translate missing french strings.

* Updated README.md.

- Added Customized Sound Notification note.
- Added Multi-Language Support section.
- Added a preview image.
- Minor changes.

Included Zeta Resource Editor project file for further translations.
Included ReSharper project settings - if someone else uses it.

ToDo:
- Create wiki article how language changes should be done.
- Translate missing french strings.

* The user will now be notified after changing the language that this requires a restart.

- Added the possibility to restart the application right after changing the language.
- Added a small script which removes various informations (like absolute file paths) from the Zeta Resource Editor project file.

Run the script after opening/closing the *.zreproj project file.

+SoundSwitch can also take care of your recording devices. You can set specifics HotKeys as for the playback devices.
 
 ### Auto-Updater
-This is one of the interesting feature added in Isabelline Gold, the auto-updater. Every 12h SoundSwitch will check the GitHub repository (thanks to the GitHub API) for a new release, if a new one is available, the user will get a notification and the “No Update” in the context menu will change to “Update Available (X.X.X)” where X.X.X represent the new version number. When the user clicks on it, a new Window opens with a progress bar (see screenshots). The new version gets automatically downloaded in the temp folder of the user. When the download is finished, the user can install the Update by just clicking the install button. A changelog is also provided by getting the information set in the release on GitHub.

-#### Stealth Update
-If you don't want to install manually the update, you can activate this feature to let SoundSwitch update itself when the AutoUpdater find a new suitable version (Enabled by default).
+#### Update Modes
+There are three different options available: Silent, means the program updates itself in the background without any prompts. Notify, you will be notified when there's an update available. Never, well this is self-explained.
 
 ### Communications
-SoundSwitch can also change the communications devices when asked in the Settings. Windows make a differentiation between Multimedia and Communication; it means if an application asks to have access to Communications Audio Device, it will receive the default Communications device. By default SoundSwitch only change the Multimedia device and not the communications. Now if the checkbox is checked in the settings, it will also change the Communications device.

 ### Notifications
-SoundSwitch provides three types of notification.
+SoundSwitch provides four types of notification.
 
 #### Windows Notification
 This is the default notification; it uses the balloon tip of Windows. In the case of Windows 7, it's the little balloon that opens next to the systray icon. For Windows 10, it's the notification system that slides from the right corner of the screen.
 
 #### Sound Notification
-This notification is a sound played on the switched device. This way when you are switching device, the new device will "chime" to tell you it's selected.

+
+### Customized Sound Notification
+The same as a Sound Notification but you can specify the sound which is played.
 
-#### Toast Notification (>=Win 8)
-If you are on Windows 8 or more, you can use this type of Toast notification. More personalization is possible, by default the notification is silent, but you can set a custom sound for it (mp3 or wav for now).
+#### Toast Notification (≥Win 8)
+If you are on Windows 8 or later, you can use this type of Toast Notification. More personalization is possible, by default the notification is silent, but you can set a custom sound for it (mp3 or wav for now).
 
 If you want to return to a silent Toast notification, open the file selector, and just do Cancel. Doing that will remove the set sound.
 
 #### No Notification
 In case you're not interested in getting any notification.
 
+### Multi-Language Support
+There are three languages available: English, French and German.

+Would you like to help us with the localization? Great! See [Add or modify another language](../../wiki/Add-or-modify-another-language) for further informations.
