docs: trim redundant text in tools/settings docs and v1.27 release notes

Cut meta-commentary asides, a restated default, and a stale changelog
footnote that didn't help someone using the feature -- plus tightened
a few release-notes bullets that repeated the same rationale two or
three times over.

 | Additional | Latin / Cyrillic / Greek | The second script in the **#@/abc** key's cycle (Main → Additional → Symbols → Main). Setting it to the same script as Main drops the cycle to just that script plus Symbols. **Greek** covers the 24-letter alphabet plus final sigma (`ς`), not the tonos stress accents. Every script renders natively via one shared Unicode font — no separate toggle needed. |

 European Latin-diacritic letters (Polish, Czech, Slovak, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Nordic, etc.) aren't separate alphabet pages — instead, **Hold Enter** on a plain Latin letter that has accented variants (`a c d e i l n o r s t u y z`) opens a one-row popup of its accents (e.g. holding `a` offers `á à â ã ä å ą`); **LEFT/RIGHT** picks, **Enter** inserts it, **Cancel** dismisses with no change. Holding a letter with no accented variants (e.g. `b`) does nothing. Works on whichever page is currently showing Latin, whether that's Main or Additional.

 **Auto-pause** — when set, a recording trail automatically **pauses** after the device has stayed within ~15 m of one spot for the chosen delay: the elapsed timer and point sampling both freeze, and the map line breaks across the idle gap. It **resumes on its own** as soon as you move again. This keeps a stop (a break, a meal, parking) out of your distance and average-speed stats without you having to remember to stop and restart tracking. A paused trail is still "on" (the **G** marker keeps blinking) — the Summary **Status** row shows `paused`. The stop is detected with its own coarse movement gate, independent of **Min dist**, so GPS jitter while you're parked doesn't keep it awake.
 
-**Auto-save** — with this on (default off), the live trail is written to flash automatically when the device powers off, so a **low-battery auto-shutdown** no longer discards the whole route. It saves to the same `/trail` file as the manual **Trail file… → Save**, and only writes when the trail actually has points — an empty trail can't overwrite a previously saved one. Off by default so a normal shutdown doesn't silently overwrite a saved trail you meant to keep.
