Some new stuff for distrochooser.de

I managed to find some time to add new updates to the distrochooser project. This time these updates focused on a new translation and options for visually impaired people.

For this merge, I implemented basic right-to-left language support into the distrochooser UI component. This implementation might still have room for improvement, but it is a start.

Visually impaired mode

I added a stub for a separate display mode for visually impaired people. This mode modifies the page layout as following:

• Removal of small icons
• Replacements of icons with text
• Removal of animations  and pop-up-texts
• Replacement of the spinner animation with a text
• Increasing of the general font size
• Replacement of the radio buttons and check boxes for answers
• Replacement of image-based answers with text ones

Similar as the rtl mode this view mode still has some flaws but it is a start to work on this topic.

Other stuff

Additional, I fixed some minor display issues and an issue with the decision matrix. I started to collect information for version 6. But this is still years away, I guess.
