[PATCH v5 3/7] i18n: Rewrite gettext messages start with dash

Gettext message in a shell script should not start with '-', one workaround is adding '--' between gettext and the message, like:

    gettext -- "--exec option ..."

But due to a bug in the xgettext extraction, xgettext can not extract the actual message for this case. Rewriting the message is a simpler and better solution.
