fix: make running from code tree translate strings
Have Roundup's i18n add working_directorylocale/locale to the list of
places searched for translation .mo files.
This means:
LANG=de python3 roundup/scripts/roundup_admin.py -i ...
will be translated to German. Also document setting up locale/locale
using 'make -C locale local_install' in developer doc.
