feat(apollo-react): add i18n support for canvas components [MST-8210]

[david-rios-uipath]

Summary

• Add Lingui localization to the formatting toolbar tooltips with a new canvas locale catalog (13 locales)
• Migrate Lingui compiled locale output from CJS (module.exports) to ESM (export const messages) for better compatibility w/ Storybook
• Configure the Lingui Babel macro plugin for Storybook and vitest

CJS → ESM locale migration

Lingui's default compileNamespace is cjs, which outputs module.exports = {...}. This caused two problems:

1. Storybook (Vite dev server) serves .js files as ESM, so CJS locale files failed with does not provide an export named 'default'
2. locale-registry.ts used ESM import syntax with @ts-expect-error suppressions to work around the CJS/ESM mismatch

Setting compileNamespace: 'es' in lingui.config.ts fixes both issues:

• Compiled locales are now .mjs with proper export const messages = ...
• locale-registry.ts uses clean typed named imports — no @ts-expect-error needed
• Added lingui-locale.d.ts type declaration for .mjs imports
• Removed the lingui-cjs-to-esm Vite workaround plugin from Storybook
• Added **/locales/*.mjs to .gitignore (compiled output, same as the old .js files)

Storybook Lingui support

• Added @vitejs/plugin-react with @lingui/babel-plugin-lingui-macro to Storybook's Vite config (scoped to apollo-react/src/ only)
• Added root-level lingui.config.ts re-export so the Babel plugin can find the config from any workspace cwd

Test plan

• Run pnpm i18n:compile && pnpm test in packages/apollo-react — verify locale compilation and tests pass
• Run Storybook (pnpm storybook) — verify sticky note stories render without locale errors
• Verify FormattingToolbar tooltips display localized text

Can you validate ap-chat (in web packages) still works properly? I think I chose cjs vs esm for some issues that were caused there.. if you run dev mode and switch language, does it actually switch?

[david-rios-uipath]

It seems to be working as expected when run from web-packages after some changes to the locale copy script:
