Jesse Hallam 9ea90ca862 Backport i18n packaging and locale fallback fixes (#38148)
* Package only the locale catalogs from server/i18n

release.mk copied server/i18n wholesale into the distribution. Everything in
that directory today is a catalog, so it made no difference -- but the server
loader, mmgotool and the sync test all already filter the directory to *.json,
and packaging was the one consumer that did not.

Copy the catalogs explicitly so documentation and any other non-catalog file
placed alongside them stays out of the release bundle.

* Validate the language fallback in display settings

user_settings_display reads getLanguageInfo(userLocale).name without a guard,
and its container fell back to config.DefaultClientLocale without checking
that value resolves. Nothing in the webapp guaranteed it did.

In practice it does today: fixInvalidLocales runs on every config load and
resets DefaultClientLocale to en when it is not in the supported set, so the
dereference cannot currently throw. That invariant lives three layers away in
Go, is silent when it fires, and is one refactor from not holding -- and the
cost of not depending on it is a two-line fallback.

So the container now re-checks the default and drops to
General.DEFAULT_LOCALE, matching what getCurrentLocale already does when the
current locale is unavailable.

Adds index.test.tsx covering the container's locale resolution: a supported
user locale is kept, an unsupported one falls back to DefaultClientLocale, and
an unsupported DefaultClientLocale -- or one excluded by AvailableLocales --
still resolves to something getLanguageInfo can look up. Two of the four fail
without the change.
