feat: wire i18n config to frontend runtime (fixes #126)

- Promote i18n from EXPERIMENTAL to IMPLEMENTED status in feature registry
- Create LocaleProvider React context for managing locale state
- Add LocaleSwitcher component in header when multiple locales configured
- Connect frontend to existing i18n API endpoints for translation strings
- Implement RTL support with automatic dir attribute switching
- Add comprehensive tests for i18n implementation status
- Update compiler to remove experimental comment for i18n

This completes the i18n wiring gap identified in issue #126, enabling full
internationalization support in the frontend runtime with locale switching,
RTL support, and translation loading from the backend API.
