Allow users to change the locale to use

See original GitHub issue

One thing I feel is missing is to allow the user to change the locale to display Chocolatey GUI in (I like to change from Norwegian to English and back, depending on the circumstance).

It is possible to allow such an option by doing a naïve check during runtime by checking which locale folder exists: see https://stackoverflow.com/a/32963564 for more info there.

Or creating a static configuration list of the available locales during build, which can be done using the Cake.Transifex addin by using the TransifexStatus alias (If I have remembered to correctly implement it, I think I have).

Optimally changing the locale would be dynamic, but that would require quite a few changes, including a a major change in the code base, which probably shouldn’t be a priority at this time. Alternatively, it would notify the user to restart Chocolatey GUI to change the locale.

@punker76 @AdmiringWorm I have added this to the 0.19.0 milestone as I think this would be a great addition to the application. I will try to free up some time to take a look at this if no-one else gets to it first.
