docs(i18n): Arabic language notes and right-to-left guidance

- docs/translations/ar.md: style, Western digits and direction, units,
  the six plural forms and the glossary.
- TRANSLATORS.md and CURRENT-STATE.md list Arabic and say how a
  right-to-left language mirrors the chrome.

1. Create `src/i18n/locales/<code>.json`, fill it from `npm run i18n -- --missing <code>` (start from `{}`), and translate every entry.
2. Import it in `src/i18n/index.js` and add it to `CATALOGS`.
3. Add the code to `LOCALES` and its own-language name to `LOCALE_NAMES` in `src/i18n/locale.js`. Right-to-left languages also go in `RTL_LOCALES`.
3. Add the code to `LOCALES` and its own-language name to `LOCALE_NAMES` in `src/i18n/locale.js`. Right-to-left languages also go in `RTL_LOCALES`; the chrome mirrors through logical CSS properties (`inset-inline-*`, `margin-inline-*`), and `src/ui/styles/rtl.css` holds what those cannot express (see the Arabic notes). If the language should keep Western digits, map it in `INTL_TAGS` in `locale.js`.
4. Add `src/i18n/locales/<code>.json` next to `ru.json` in `scripts/package-boundaries.json`.
5. Write `docs/translations/<code>.md`: glossary, plural forms, units and style (copy the structure of `ru.md`).
6. Run `npm run i18n` and `npm test`, then check the panels in the app at narrow widths.

## Language notes
Each language keeps its glossary, plural forms, units and style in its own file, `docs/translations/<code>.md`: [Spanish](./translations/es.md), [Russian](./translations/ru.md), [Simplified Chinese](./translations/zh-CN.md), [Traditional Chinese](./translations/zh-Hant.md). Read it before translating, and add a term there when you settle on one.
