Gerhard Schlager f683c5d0e0 DEV: Check English locale for errors in CI
Moves the most important checks into a linter. It gets executed by Lefthook as well as the docker rake task and Github actions. Doing those checks in rspec takes too long and it produces errors when the discourse:test Docker image contains old, invalid locale files.
