Summary: Add msgcat current file local

Initial Comment:
Message catalog files have names: "<locale>.msg" and consist of entries like:
mcset <locale> <ori> <translation>

Example:
--de.msg--
mcset de File Datei
mcset de Exit Verlassen
--eof--

The locale is repeated for each command, even if it could be known by the file name.
I often do errors here specially if I copy- and paste message catalogue file contents and forget to change the locale.

The feature request proposes the notion of a locale generated from the message catalog file name which is extracted and stored in the msgcat package.

Interface:
Get MC File locale:
msgcat::mcconfig -mcfilelocale
It might also be set (for example within message files):
msgcat::mcconfig -mcfilelocale de_CH
A new mcset uses this mc file locale implicitly:
msgcat::mcflset <ori> <translation>
And its multi-counterpart:
msgcat::mcflmset {ori1 trans1 ori2 trans2 ...}

Example use:
--de.msg--
mcflset File Datei
mcflset Exit Verlassen
--eof--

Attached is a ready to use msgcat-1.5.1.tm file and a diff against msgcat-1.5.0.tm from TIP 399 contained in feature request # 3511941

Message:
Implementation updated: mcflset and mcflmset did not detect the callers
namespace properly

Sorry for the error,
Harald
