Two small fixes to the Russian localisation, found while looking at the installer for issue #62.

cachyos-pi.desktopComment[ru] reads «Установщик пакета простых программных приложений», which parses the English the wrong way round: the "simple" ends up attached to the applications instead of the installer, and "package" becomes singular and possessed. It currently reads roughly as "installer of a package of simple software applications". Changed to a wording that matches the English and reads naturally in Russian.

lang/cachyos-packageinstaller_ru.ts — 23 strings. These fall into three groups:

  • wrong meaning, not just clumsy wording;
  • inconsistent terminology — the same UI concept translated two different ways in different places;
  • strings left in English.

I went through the file rather than fixing only the one I noticed, so the terminology is consistent across the whole UI now.

Nothing outside the Russian locale is touched, and no code changes are involved.

The Russian translation misplaced the adjective: "Установщик пакета простых
программных приложений" reads as "installer for packages of simple software
applications", while the English original "Simple Software Application Package
Installer" says the installer is the simple one.

Use "Простой установщик программ" ("Simple software installer").
Corrections:

* "remote" (a Flatpak repository) was rendered as "дистанционный", which in
  Russian means remote as in remote control / distance learning, and it was
  left as a bare adjective with no noun ("Удалить дистанционный"). The same
  term was also translated inconsistently as "зеркало" (mirror) and
  "удаленный" (which without the diaeresis reads as "deleted"). All of these
  are now "источник", matching the wording used elsewhere for repositories.
* "About..." was translated as "O..." - a single Latin letter O, not a word
  and not even Cyrillic. Now "О программе...".
* "More &info..." was "Подробнее информация...", which is ungrammatical.
* "Not removable" was "Не удаляемое" (wrong form).
* "orphan packages" was "ненужные пакеты" (unneeded packages); orphans are
  specifically leftover dependencies.
* missing comma in "Пожалуйста, подождите...", a stray space before a bold
  sentence, and a few missing ё.

Also translated the four remaining untranslated strings, so the Russian
catalogue is now complete (lrelease: 131 finished, 0 unfinished).
