Improve spanish translations (#373)
Summary

This PR improves the Spanish localization in config/language-Spanish.sys, and the help file in help/help-Spanish.dat.

It fixes previously untranslated UI strings, spelling mistakes, missing or incorrect diacritics, unnatural wording, and several overly literal translations.

It completely overhauls the spanish help file.
What changed

    Translated many strings that were still left in English.
    Fixed multiple typos and malformed words.
    Restored missing accent marks and corrected incorrect ones, including ambigüa -> ambigua.
    Replaced awkward or unnatural terms with more idiomatic Spanish.
    Fixed several false cognates and literal translations that did not match normal UI usage.
    Improved consistency across menus, dialogs, weather labels, and log/record terminology.
    Completed translation of the spanish help file
    Normalized help file to formal spanish since this variant is more consistent across regions

Examples

    bitácora -> registro
    Wind Chill -> Sensación térmica
    Heat Index -> Índice de calor
    Alta/Baja Temperat. -> Temp. máx./mín.
    Macheo Sensible -> Distinguir mayús./minús.

Notes

Technical acronyms and domain-specific labels were kept unchanged where 
translating them would reduce clarity.

The change of "bitácora" to "registro" may be controversial but "registro" is 
more widely used. I even consulted the dictionary (https://dle.rae.es/bit%C3%A1cora) 
and learned that it comes from french "bitacle" (habitacle) and it refers to the box 
used to hold the compass. It does not refer to the log itself (cuaderno de bitácora), 
with cuaderno meaning notebook. The chosen word, registro, is the correct one 
(https://dle.rae.es/registro, meaning 11: "Book, used as an index, where news or
data is logged". (/pedantic)

Closes #372
