Text for Goal mechanics

The goal mechanics was used before the focus mechanics added. Texts for this mechanic still exist in final game (Hearts of Iron IV\localisation\english\goals_l_english_txt). These texts translated on other languages including Simple Chinese added later.

File is including strings for names, descriptions, shorts descriptions and, optional, successes of goals.

Choosing a goal, a player should make some action to get a result (unlike focuses which you just have to choose and wait to get a result).

Condemning action

condemn_japan:0 "Condemn Japan"
condemn_japan_desc:0 "The Japanese war of aggression against China is an outrage against civility and liberty, as well as an endangerment to American lives, rights and economic interests in China! Japan must cease their attacks or face the repercussions."
condemn_japan_short_desc:0 "§LCondemn the Japanese war of aggression on China.§!"

Mentioned action of condemning doesn't exist in final game.

embargo_japan_desc:0 "Japan's attacks on China have continued despite our warning. The time has come to embargo all trade with Japan."
