Subject: feat: add gettext i18n with translations (vi, de, fr, it, es, pt)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Wire up internationalization for the app and ship six translations.

Infrastructure:
- meson: import i18n, define GETTEXT_PACKAGE/GSR_LOCALEDIR, add po/ subdir,
  and translate the .desktop and AppStream metainfo via i18n.merge_file
  (renamed to .desktop.in / .metainfo.xml.in).
- main.c: setlocale + bindtextdomain/textdomain so the catalog is loaded.
- po/: LINGUAS, POTFILES.in, meson.build (glib preset).

String marking:
- Wrap every user-visible string with _() across main.c, gsr-window.c, the four
  pages and the shortcut dialog (titles, subtitles, labels, buttons, combo
  display names, notifications, toasts, dialogs, menu items).
- Leave ids/keys untranslated: codec/container/service ids, GAction/icon/CSS
  names, GVariant/format strings, accelerators, etc.

Linting:
- Re-enable gobject-linter's untranslated_string rule (now that i18n exists) as
  an error so new user-visible strings must be wrapped.

Translations (141 messages each, %s/%d/markup placeholders preserved):
- Vietnamese (vi), German (de), French (fr), Italian (it), Spanish (es),
  Portuguese (pt). Codec names, "OK", proper nouns and the product name are
  intentionally left in English. Verified: msgfmt --check-format passes and the
  compiled catalogs resolve (e.g. "Record" -> "Ghi hình" / "Aufnahme" /
  "Enregistrement").
