Subject: [PATCH] Qt: Disambiguate offset direction labels from DPad/Stick
 labels (#18695)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

## Summary

The "Left" and "Right" strings in `pad_settings_dialog` were shared
between DPad/Stick direction labels (which have ample space) and offset
value labels — Squircle Values, Stick Multipliers, and Stick
Interpolation (where space is tight). Translators couldn't abbreviate
the offset version without also affecting the direction binding labels.

## Change

Added disambiguation via `comment="Offset direction"` in the `.ui`
file's `<string>` elements for the six offset labels:

- `label_squircle_left`
- `label_squircle_right`
- `label_stick_multi_left`
- `label_stick_multi_right`
- `left_stick_lerp_label`
- `right_stick_lerp_label`

Qt now generates separate translation entries, allowing translators to
use shorter abbreviations in the tight offset areas while keeping full
forms for direction bindings.

**English UI is unchanged** — no visual difference for English users.

Fixes #18691
