Commit message:

Convert text members (`name`, `short_name`, localized text values, and shortcut `name`, `short_name`, and `description`) into Infra scalar value strings (replacing unpaired surrogates with U+FFFD) during manifest processing, and process shortcut text members via `process a text member`.
