Pull request description:
This is an alternative to #15340 (it works with the `Chain` interface; see: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15340#issuecomment-502674004).
Refs:
- #16218 (partial fix)
- https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15894#issuecomment-487947077
This PR:
- makes GUI error messages bilingual: user's native language + untranslated (i.e. English)
- insures that only untranslated messages are written to the debug log file and to `stderr` (that is not the case on master).
If a translated string is unavailable only an English string appears to a user.
Here are some **examples** (updated):
* `qt5ct: using qt5ct plugin` message is my local environment specific; please ignore it.

Note for reviewers: `InitWarning()` is out of this PR scope.
