The locale file interface got revamped.
Instead of defining `\thesis@[name]` within the `[locale].def` files and `\thesis@[name]En` within the `base.def` files, each [locale] now defines macros in form `\thesis@[locale]@[name]` within their `[locale].def` files meaning that English is no longer special-cased and multiple locales can be loaded at the same time. This enables the model, where style files conditionally load additional locale files (like `czech` and `english` in case of the style file of the Faculty of Science, which was the original motivation for the change). The string manipulation macros `\thesis@`, `\thesis@@`, `\thesis@@upper`, `\thesis@@lower` and `\thesis@requireLocale` macros were also added to alleviate the complexity added by this model. More specifically, the style files need to be able to require new locales (this functionality is provided by the `\thesis@requireLocale` macros) and strings of the current locale can no longer be accessed directly through a command sequence, but a command sequence must be composed from letter tokens and from the expansion of the `\thesis@locale` macro (this functionality is provided by the `\thesis@@*` macros). The `\thesis@season` macro now returns a string rather than a macro to allow for easy command sequence composition using the `\thesis@` macro. The `\thesis@requireWithOptions` was renamed to `\thesis@requireStyle` as it resembles the semantics of the `\thesis@requireLocale` macro. The Faculty of Science style file now correctly typesets the front matter in Czech and English regardless of the main locale. The implicit options of the `mu/base` style file are now `nolof` and `nolot` instead of `lof` and `lot`, respectively.
