#8124: Regression: Folder names are no longer translated

Comment (by pulkomandy):
It is not possible to load a catalog by signature only. It was removed
because it doesn't work with catalog embedded as resources/attributes,
neither with catalogs put in a "locale/catalogs" folder next to the
application.
So, a catalog is now identified by an entry_ref pointing to a file. The
default catalog implementation happens to use that file mime signature
amongst other things. A gettext catalog implementation would likely do
otherwise.
The idea for this feature is :
* Try to load a catalog for the given entry_ref. This will work for
applications
* If it doesn't work, use libtracker. This will work for a given static
list of well known folder names.
* You can't translate anything else.
Does that miss some other cases ? I don't think we want localized
datafiles names ?
The patch is not correct anyway, because the change actually has to occur
in _PrepareCatalogEntry:
* remove the signature arg.
* fail if the ref doesn't have an embedded catalog
* allow to look for a ref translation in libtracker, if the ref doesn't
have a catalog by itself.
