📚 Description

Resolves #1644

Adds experimental.autoImportTranslationFunctions, which when enabled adds $t, $d and $n to globalThis.

I did add the option to the docs but it's the bare minimum, not sure where and how to describe it in a clearer way 🤔, I suppose it's not that big of a deal while it's an experimental feature?

Great work! I am glad you have improved nuxt i18n dx!

Another implementation way for auto impot is to use AST in the bundler transform, which implements nuxt auto-import, or macros such as unplugin-auto-import, or like Vue 3 defineProps macro way, so we can generate useI18n executable code.

auto-import: https://github.com/unplugin/unplugin-auto-import
vue-macro: https://github.com/vue-macros/vue-macros

This method is advanced and difficult to implement, but by injecting the transformed code into the script setup, we don't have worry about releases.

Ah yes! I never considered this approach, I'll close this PR for now and see if I can work out a solution using this method. This will give us more control where this functionality is injected, and I'm interested in learning more about this anyway 😄.
