1e075f76c5 Arabic (العربية) UI translation: language switching + font fallback (#798)
* Show Thai file names and text in the interface with an installed Thai font

A drawing whose file name is Thai showed boxes in its file tab and in the
window title: the interface loaded one Latin system font (plus a CJK font for
the Chinese interface), and neither has Thai.

install_fonts now also adds an installed Thai font (Thonburi, Leelawadee UI,
Noto Sans Thai, Loma...) after the Latin one, in any interface language, since
file names and drawing text are Thai whatever the interface is in. No font is
bundled; without one installed nothing changes.

* Add Korean interface localization and Hangul font support

* Add Arabic (العربية) interface translation

A full ar.tsv catalog for the CAD interface — every menu label, tool,
palette, dialog and status message in the repo's three-column TSV
format, written from the plain meaning of the English with the
Arabic AutoCAD vocabulary its users know (أمر، إزاحة، تدوير، قص،
استدارة، طبقة…), with the six CLDR plural forms for the counts.
Registers ar in LANGUAGES with plural_arabic and the font chain
(Noto Sans Arabic first on Linux, Segoe UI/Tahoma on Windows, Geeza
Pro on macOS) so the UI families paint Arabic.

The shell itself still lays out left-to-right: egui 0.36 has no
global direction switch and no bidi, so mirroring is left for a
later pass; this PR is the catalog, the registry entry and the
fonts.

* i18n: start the Swedish (sv) interface catalog

Header only, not registered yet: the catalog is filled and the language registered in this
branch, translated from the meaning of CADCraft's English strings and reviewed by a native
Swedish speaker.

* i18n: add Swedish (sv) interface translation

A complete 1,235-entry Swedish catalog: every key of the Spanish catalog, Run Script... and the
four menu headings (Visa, Rita, Måttsättning, Ändra). Written from the meaning of CADCraft's
English strings; no other product's localisation and no other catalog was used. AI-assisted; the
terminology and the running app were reviewed by a native speaker. Command-line keywords, system
variables and osnap tokens stay English.

- Preference::Swedish (sv); sv-SE, sv-FI and sv_SE.UTF-8 select it; one|other plurals (the
  English rule).
- sv in REPORTED; tests for locales, saved preference and plurals, menu headings, a live switch,
  dialogs and the Swedish letters in the bundled fonts. No gaps are reported for Swedish.
- ATTRIBUTION, README, docs/localization.md, docs/localization-parity.md,
  docs/control-protocol.md, the options doc comment and a contributors/people.toml entry for
  @holmbom.
