Add REST API for getting translations of a language for a plugin

- Add algorithm to decide on the language for a plugin by comparing the accept languages
from the REST call and the plugin supported languages

Add algorithm for determining plugin language when retrieving translations
Client would pass languages used in the 'accept-language' header. These
languages would then be compared against the plugin supported languages
and best compared language would be selected.

**Commit 11:**
Update register translations API to be independent of plugin name and language
The register API is updated to be independent of plugin name and language. The API will now
traverse the path given and create language bundles as per language files it traverses.
The translations files structure has also been simplified to be just key/value objects.
To be done:
- Add hapi API to get translations
- Extend the API tests to test responses

Update with review comments
From review https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/7545#issuecomment-231147435
following comments updated:
- README, .gitignore, and .eslintrc are not needed in a core plugin
- package.json only needs name and version
- unit tests need to go in a tests directory otherwise they won't get picked up
by the grunt tasks. Also our convention is to name the test file with the same
name as the module it's testing (so i18n_tests.js should just be i18n.js)
- For consistency with the rest of the code base, rename the data directory to fixtures.
- Prefer const (or let if necessary). Don't use var.
- Use ES6 imports/exports rather than commonjs style
- Only export the i18n module's public API. For instance, I don't think getPluginTranslationDetails is used outside of the i18n module, so it shouldn't be exposed publicly. If you want to expose it for testing purposes, I would recommend creating an i18n directory with an index.js file that exports the module's public API, and a separate i18n.js file with the "private" API. index.js will be for public use, i18n.js will be for private internal use.

**Commit 15:**
Update after review comments
From review (https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/7545#issuecomment-231884490):
- i18n module API should return promises for async operations instead of using
callbacks
- All filesystem access should be async
- Unit tests need to be updated based on new proposed plugin structure
(single language file, not split by view)
From design (https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/6515#issuecomment-231400097):
- Removed API as will consider in later phase
TODO:
- Make write function async

**Commit 17:**
Update registerTranslations API to take absolute translation file as argument
The API originally took the directory as the argument but following reviews it
was decided to change to absolute file because it will be less brittle
since it is more explicit.

**Commit 21:**
Handle scenario when the user preferred language header is not passed
The UI when loading asks i18n plugin which language translation to use
depending on the user preferred language header 'accept-language'.
This commit is to handle scenario where header is not passed. The algorithm
then chooses the default language.
