Approach to support translations. https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/i18n/

Description

Added some German translations mostly to test things. My idea was to use content_scripts/localize.js on every page and use translate methods for "populated" html. But before I continue working on it i would like to get your opinion first.

While I certainly want people to have the extension in their native language, I don't believe it's worth the overhead of instrumenting the codebase with localization and maintaining the strings files, based on my current knowledge. I haven't heard much demand for localization to date (outside of #2903), and I suspect most of the userbase is able to use Vimium in its current form (given all of the other resources -- like the chrome store page and the github README -- are necessarily in English).

I'll leave this open to invite discussion. What do folks think?
