Use LC_TIME locale for strftime format string translations
We commonly mark strftime format strings for translation to account for date/time representations without an existing strftime shortcut ("Yesterday %H%p"). As those translations are looked up according to the locale defined by LC_MESSAGES, while the conversion characters themselves are resolved according to LC_TIME, the result can be rather odd when mixing locales ("Den 27. January"). The correct solution would be to install translations for format strings in the LC_TIME catalogue and look them up with dcgettext(), but we don't have the infrastructure to do that easily. Work around this by adding a helper method that looks up a string in LC_MESSAGES using the locale defined by LC_TIME and use that to translate format strings, which has the same result. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=738640
