WIP Eventually, a replacement for l10n-central

Firefox Localizations

Eventually, this will be a monorepo replacement for the l10n-central repositories. To enable that transition, it currently includes a few GitHub Action workflows:

• update-from-hg.yml fetches contents from the hg repositories with git-cinnabar, and pushes them to locale-specific branches.
• merge-locales.yml checks out each locale-specific branch, and rewrites its history adding a locale identifier as the first part of all paths, as well as dropping hg-specific contents. Then, it creates a Cthulhu merge of all the locales, before pushing those newly-created commits to the repo.
• sync-to-locales.yml takes changes that are applied on top of the Cthulhu merge, and applies them to each locale-specific branch.

Effectively, update-from-hg.yml and merge-locales.yml allow a migration from hg to git, while sync-to-locales.yml is a part of migrating data back from git to hg, should that prove necessary e.g. for a rollback, or for updating strings in an ESR release.

The scripts rely on firefox-locales, a listing of all the locales for which Firefox is currently localized.
