The new unlock dialogue seems to confuse users as to what the purpose of the key file is. This patch changes the generic "Select file..." affordance to the more explicit "Select key file..." and adds a help button to the label just like the one we already have for the hardware key. Furthermore, it prevents the user from using the KDBX file as its own key file (since that would never work anyway). The change breaks existing translations on purpose (instead of simply adjusting the en_US locale) in order to force translators to update this string for their languages. Resolves #3678

Description and Context
The new unlock dialogue seems to confuse users as to what the purpose of the key file is. This
patch changes the generic "Select file..." affordance to the more explicit "Select key file (if any)..."
and prevents the user from using the KDBX file as a key file (since that would never work anyway).
The change breaks existing translations on purpose (instead of simply adjusting the en_US locale)
in order to force translators to update this string for their languages.
Resolves #3678
