gtk: add localization support, take 3 (#6004)

This is my third (!) attempt at implementing localization support. By
leveraging GTK builder to do most of the `gettext` calls, I can avoid
the whole mess about missing symbols on non-glibc platforms.

Added some documentation too for contributors and translators, just for
good measure.

Supersedes #5214, resolves the GTK half of #2357
