[Masthead]: Provide local/globalization support to Platform Name and URL

[proeung]

The problem

• The current attributes for passing a platform name and URL to the dds-masthead-container and dds-cloud-masthead-container works great, however, it doesn't scale well on localized pages.
• Here's an example of the current Drupal Cloud masthead that has the string "cloud" translated into arabic (https://cms.ibm.com/ar/cloud/paks) as well as its homepage URL (https://cms.ibm.com/ar/cloud).
• This feature is needed within the production use of the Unified Cloud Masthead + Mega Menu as well as in AEM.

<dds-cloud-masthead-container
  platform="Cloud"
  data-endpoint="/common/carbon-for-ibm-dotcom/translations/cloud-masthead/jsononly"
  platform-url="https://www.ibm.com/cloud"
></dds-cloud-masthead-container>

The solution

• Alter the data fetching method to pull from the endpoint if the data exists.
• We might need to add a new field within the mastheadNav array for mastheadNav[platform] that manages its translated name and URL. https://github.ibm.com/webstandards/ibm-dotcom-translations/tree/master/translations

Does the platform name need to be translated if it's an IBM product name?

[proeung]

@jeffchew From what I've seen so far, the platform name looks to be translated for non-English speaking countries, please see below for the list of pages that are translating the word "Cloud".

• https://cms.ibm.com/ar/cloud
• https://cms.ibm.com/jp-ja/cloud
• https://cms.ibm.com/cn-zh/cloud
• https://cms.ibm.com/ar-es/cloud

I'm not sure if this is the standard, however, I think it's still important to expose the platform-url string in the API endpoint so that each local can put in their proper homepage link.

Will be added to the 6/7 engineering refinement meeting agenda.

HC has a work around until this is ready. Moving to the July 27 release.
