* Feature (experimental): Add new snapshot log filter `rsync transfer failures (experimental)` to find them easier (they are normally not shown as "error").
                          This feature is experimental because it is based on hard-coded error message strings in the rsync source code
                          and may possibly not find all rsync messages or show false positives.

* Fix bug: Schedule dropdown menu used "minutes" instead of "hours".
* Fix bug: Unhandled exception "TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable" in tools.py function __log_keyring_warning (#820).
           Logging thread removed and logger module correctly initialized as fix. Is "Heisenbug" so 100 % retesting was not possible.

* Translation: Minor modifications in source strings and updating language files.
* Refactor: Solved circular dependency between tools.py and logger.py to fix #820
* Improved: qtsystrayicon.py, qt5_probing.py, usercallbackplugin.py and all parts of app.py
            do now also use "backintime" as logging namespace in the syslog to ensure complete log output with `journalctl | grep -i backintime`

* Fix bug: The error user-callback is now always called if an error happened while taking a snapshot (#1491)
* Fix bug: D-Bus serviceHelper error "LimitExceeded: Maximum length of command line reached (100)":
           Max command length is now 120 instead of 100 (#1027)
* Feature: Introduce new error codes for the "error" user callback (as part of #1491):
           5: Error while taking a snapshot.
           6: New snapshot taken but with errors.
* Feature: The `rsync` exit code is now contained in the snapshot log (part of #489). Example:
           [E] Error: 'rsync' ended with exit code -9 (negative values are signal numbers, see 'kill -l')
* Fix bug: Treat rsync exit code 24 as INFO instead of ERROR (#1506)
