#922: Mix of translated and untranslated message

 In src/utils/pacat.c there is this code:
 {{{
 pa_log(_("Connected to device %s (%u, %ssuspended)."),
         pa_stream_get_device_name(s),
         pa_stream_get_device_index(s),
         pa_stream_is_suspended(s) ? "" : "not ");
 }}}
 The word "not" is not available for translation here.  And building
 messages from pieces in this way often breaks translations.  I'm sure
 there are some language where the word "suspended" should have different
 forms depending on whether it is negated or not.

 I making two complete messages instead, and selecting the entire message
 based on the return value of pa_stream_is_suspended().
