The translation system now uses a database index that works better with replicated database setups. This helps organizations using streaming replication avoid compatibility issues while keeping translation lookups efficient.

The motivation behind that change is that the hash index in postgres is not
compatible with streaming replication.  The new index is defined on md5(src),
which provides good performance without size limitation on src.

This should fix #5.

The project and project stage forms were reorganized to make them easier to understand and use, helping teams configure projects with less effort. Kanban column tooltips were also corrected so users see helpful guidance in the right place.

This improvement is necessary for future migrations.

It permits the user to get the original PostgreSQL custom dump that we
use to have until version 8.0.
