* docs(messages): Add a msg/json/README.md

Add a README.md file to msg/json/ explaining the purpose of the
files therein, mentioning that PRs are not accepted but that
translation updates should be made via TranslateWiki, and with a
short description of how to build the langfiles that are generated
from them.

Messages

This directory contains "messages" files, which are JSON-format files containing human-translated strings that are needed by Blockly.

Translating

We do not accept pull requests for files in this directory. Instead, we use Translatewiki to manage translations for Blockly. Please refer to the detailed instructions on how to help us translate Blockly on the Blockly Developers site.

There is one notable exception: because the language is not supported by Translatewiki, contributors to the Klingon translation may submit PRs making changes to tlh.json directly.

Building

Blockly cannot use the files in this directory directly. Instead, they must first be converted into executable .js files we call "langfiles". This is done automatically as needed by the build system, but you can also run this build step manually by invoking npm run langfiles; the output will be found in build/msg/.
