`imports.format` replacement.

This issue serves as an initial exploration of how we might deprecate imports.format with string templates (pending xgettext support).

Rough Proposal

import { domain, msgid } from 'gettext';

const { pgettext, ngettext, gettext, _ } = domain('gnome-dogs');

globalThis._ = _;
globalThis.msgid = msgid;
globalThis.gettext = gettext;
globalThis.ngettext = gettext;
globalThis.pgettext = pgettext;

Code Translation String

Code	Translation String
const name = 'Fido'; _`My dog is named ${name}`; gettext(msgid`My dog is named ${name}`);	msgid "My dog is named ${0}."
const count = 5; ngettext(msgid`I have ${count} dog.`, msgid`I have ${count} dogs.`, count);	msgid "I have ${0} dog." msgid_plural "I have ${0} dogs."
const color = 'golden'; const name = 'Sammy'; pgettext("context", msgid`My dog has ${color} fur and is named ${name}.`);	msgid "My dog has ${0} fur and is named ${1}."

const name = 'Fido';
_`My dog is named ${name}`;
gettext(msgid`My dog is named ${name}`);

msgid        "My dog is named ${0}."

const count = 5;
ngettext(msgid`I have ${count} dog.`, msgid`I have ${count} dogs.`, count);

msgid        "I have ${0} dog."
msgid_plural "I have ${0} dogs."

const color = 'golden';
const name = 'Sammy';
pgettext("context", msgid`My dog has ${color} fur and is named ${name}.`);

msgid        "My dog has ${0} fur and is named ${1}."
