[Interest] Android: include and use the translation files of Qt (qt_*.qm)

[René Hansen]

"You can use CONFIG += lrelease to automatically compile the files during
the build, and CONFIG += lrelease embed_translations to make them available
in The Qt Resource System."

Alternatively, you can just add the .qm files to a resource file yourself,
e.g. in the case where you want a different qrc path. I do the same, having
them at /translations/*.qm.

In-app you load them like so:

  QLocale defaultLocale;
  QTranslator app_translator;
  if (app_translator.load(defaultLocale, "your-app-name", "_",
":/translations"))
    app.installTranslator(&app_translator);
  else
    qDebug() << "Failed to load app translations, default 'en' will be
used.";
