feat(i18n): add translations for zh-Hans, de, fr, es, ja, pt-BR

Browse Source 
Ships first-pass AI translations for six locales on top of the existing
English base, plus a simple JSON-per-locale contributor workflow so new
languages can land as a single PR.

- 518 keys translated per locale (proper nouns / brand names / format-
  only strings left to fall back to English by design — see the
  "Non-blocking (intentional verbatim)" section of scarf/docs/I18N.md).
- Per-locale source-of-truth lives in tools/translations/<locale>.json;
  tools/merge-translations.py writes them into Localizable.xcstrings
  and is idempotent (re-runnable as translators iterate).
- InfoPlist.xcstrings (macOS microphone permission prompt) translated
  for all six locales.
- knownRegions expanded: zh-Hans, de, fr now join by es, ja, pt-BR.
- CONTRIBUTING.md gains an "Adding a Language" section documenting the
  fork → JSON → merge → PR flow. Native-speaker reviews welcome.

Closes #13 (the original ask: Simplified Chinese support).

Canadian French users are served by base `fr`. `fr-CA` will be added only if a concrete Québec-specific bug is reported.
### Translation workflow
Source-of-truth per locale lives in `tools/translations/<locale>.json` — a flat `{ "English": "Translation" }` map. The merge step writes those into `scarf/scarf/Localizable.xcstrings` via:
```bash
python3 tools/merge-translations.py
```
Keys absent from a locale file fall back to English at runtime — this is deliberate for proper nouns (Scarf, Hermes, Anthropic, OAuth, SSH…) and format-only strings (`%lld`, `%@ → %@`, `•`). Re-running the merge is idempotent; iterate on a JSON and re-merge.
Contributor path for new languages is documented in the repo root [CONTRIBUTING.md](../../CONTRIBUTING.md#adding-a-language).
## Adding a new language
1. Xcode → Project → Info → Localizations → `+` (add locale).
