Replaced "characters" with "names"

[machinewrapped]

Replaced the characters section in project options with a more generic names, and adapted the instructions and prompt generation to reflect the change. Characters in older project files should be transferred to the names section automatically.

Note that the base gpt3.5-turbo models are likely to ignore the provided names completely, but the turbo-instruct models are somewhat better at recognizing when to use them, and gpt-4 will probably use them correctly and consistently.

I've tried various angles with the instructions to encourage the AI to use the provided names list but the results are quite consistent:

gpt-3.5-turbo-16k / gpt-3.5-turbo-1106 : more or less seems to ignore the names and does what it wants.
gpt-4 / gpt-4-1106-preview : much better at understanding when to use the names in the translation.
gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct : falls somewhere in the middle, using some names correctly but not all.

Whether it's worth the extra cost of using gpt-4 as the translator will depend on your use case.

I've noticed that recent GPT 3.5 models seem to have regressed when it comes to merging lines in the translation / desyncing, and that the chance of it happening is dependent on the size of the batch (splitting the batch and retranslating usually fixes it). With that in mind I am considering switching to gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct with a maximum batch size of around 35 lines as my default setup and recommendation.
