CMake: Add support for building and installing xz with translations.

If gettext tools are available, the .po files listed in po/LINGUAS
are converted using msgfmt. This allows building with translations
directly from xz.git without Autotools.

If gettext tools aren't available, the Autotools-created .gmo files
in the "po" directory will be used. This allows CMake-based build
to use translations from Autotools-generated tarball.

If translation support is found (Intl_FOUND) but both the
gettext tools and the pre-generated .gmo files are missing,
then "make" will fail.
