Translate and word-wrap cutscene modal text

uiModalOpen now resolves title/message/option strings as locale
message IDs first, falling back to the literal string if no match is
found, and word-wraps the result to stay within the screen's scan
width via the new shared textWrap helper. sceneinitial.c's no-device
modal now uses locale keys instead of hardcoded English strings.
