gettext: avoid using gettext if the locale dir is not present
    
    In cc5e1bf99247 (gettext: avoid initialization if the locale dir is not
    present, 2018-04-21) Git was taught to avoid a costly gettext start-up
    when there are not even any localized messages to work with.
    
    But we still called `gettext()` and `ngettext()` functions.
    
    Which caused a problem in Git for Windows when the libgettext that is
    consumed from the MSYS2 project stopped using a runtime prefix in
    https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/pull/10461
    
    Due to that change, we now use an unintialized gettext machinery that
    might get auto-initialized _using an unintended locale directory_:
    `C:\mingw64\share\locale`.
    
    Let's record the fact when the gettext initialization was skipped, and
    skip calling the gettext functions accordingly.
    
    This addresses CVE-2023-25815.
