feat(i18n): add a language key overriding the system locale
The interface language followed the environment and nothing else, so choosing it meant setting LANG for the whole application. [general] language overrides it in both directions: it selects Italian on an English desktop, and en_US forces English on an Italian one. A short code or a full locale name both work, since Qt resolves "it" to it_IT when the QLocale is built and QTranslator::load falls back from qtmaildir_it_IT to qtmaildir_it. "system" is the default written down, so the default can be expressed rather than only reached by deleting the key. Validated on the locale NAME rather than on whether a translation loads, because those are different questions and only one is an error. QLocale accepts any string and degrades an unrecognised one to C rather than failing, so `language = itallian` loads no translation and is otherwise indistinguishable from asking for English on purpose; meanwhile `language = en_US` legitimately loads nothing, English being the source language and shipping no .qm. Checking the name separates the typo from the deliberate choice, and the typo is reported. The translator is now installed after Config is loaded, since the config is what chooses it. The cost is that config warnings are generated before the translator exists and are therefore built in English; retranslating them would mean re-running load(), and a warning about the config file is the one string a user can still act on in either language. Verified against the real loader across six configurations, under both LANG=en_US and LANG=it_IT: short and full codes select Italian, system and an absent key follow the environment, en_US forces English whatever the environment says, and a bad name reports a problem and falls back. Two mutations checked: dropping the name validation and treating "system" as a locale name each fail a test. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
