[rfc][icedtea-web] Update de localized messages to 1.6

Hello there!

I have updated the de localized messages to 1.6. However, I did not translate 
the man pages related messages because they are difficult to translate without 
the respective context, which is a man page. Anyhow, this approach results in 
possibly deploying redundant data - or dead data at best - on target machines, 
so I am still unconvinced of any of the possible benefits. Lumping man page text 
with program resources together makes it even harder to maintain, hence even 
more prone to get abandoned. Yes, one could translate on a per message basis but 
this would produce either useless or ridiculous man pages, just like those 
manuals you get when you throw in a bunch of text into an automatic natural 
language translator. :-D

Again, comments above modified or added messages are meant as a service for 
reviewing, and will be removed before push.

Happy reviewing,
Jacob
