Support l10n #8

We have had a number of requests to localise the app. We should look into the cost of doing this.

An option would be to use http://airbnb.io/polyglot.js/

Current requests:

Portuguese (Mozambique)
Spanish
isiXhosa
[x] mechanism to load localisations (js/L10N.js)
[ ] allow the user to change their language, update the UI when that happens
[ ] get localisations
[ ] localise dates/times - momentjs has some locales, but not Xhosa.

We're tracking this in the https://github.com/Code4SA/pocketreporter/tree/l10n branch

Topics and questions will be translated based on keys:

topics.1.name
topics.1.questions.5

Most other phrases will be translated using the english as the key

We should probably have a script to put together a spreadsheet of translations, based on the 'en-za' translation in L10N.js, so that it's easier to source translations. Dealing with a .json file is awkward.
