The light_cache_info string holds information about the outcome of
Eevee light cache baking. It is currently 64 bits, which is enough to
hold all possible messages in English. However, some messages need to
be longer than this in other languages, so the holding string also
needs to be longer. From what I can tell, 128 bytes is plenty enough.

@mont29 This is similar to !109408, but this string a tooltip-like one, so I think it’s okay to make it longer. I’ve tried to make it as short as possible in French, but as you know there is some unavoidable verbosity there. 😅
Let me know what you think!

(Also this is out of scope for this issue, but I’m still looking for a way to make this string dynamic so that if the language changes, it changes too, but I don’t really know how to do that yet.)
