1497851 - [project.config] Find localization files through project configuration

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: Pontoon, enhancement, P2)

Description

[Matjaz Horvat [:mathjazz]]

Pontoon requires project repositories to follow a particular directory structure in order to detect files used for localization:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Implementing_Pontoon_in_a_Mozilla_website#A._Make_your_project_localizable

We should drop that requirement by supporting project configuration files:
https://moz-l10n-config.readthedocs.io/en/latest/fileformat.html

This bug tracks the implementation of finding locale files through project configuration.

Fix bug 1497851: Enable finding l10n files via project config (#1130)

Also included:
* When serializing files that don't yet exist in the repo, create
  parent folders if necessary.
* Use consistent method prefixes to denote project-config and
  no-project-config logic.
* Enable adding locales via Pontoon for projects with project config

TODO: when adding new locales, commit changed config file. For now we
don't make changes to the configuration file, because the pytoml
serializer messes with the file layout (indents and newlines) pretty
badly.
