Localization of WebXDC

DeltaChat is starting to spread in Iran. And WebXDC is a very important feature which has great utility and also makes DC unique. However, a problem’s that WebXDC is very much English only. And most people in Iran, even the educated ones, are not comfortable with English.

I think it could be good to change manifest.toml file to include name in other languages. I don’t think big change is needed here. We can simply add an optional localization field which is a dictionary mapping from locale(fa-ir, en-us, de-de) to a string which is the app name in those languages.

However, this is not enough. Xstore also needs to get updated to support multi languages for the description, as well as the store web UI itself supporting this.
