Daily regeneration of the Gettext .mo files

Draft notes about how we regenerate the Gettext .mo files daily. This documentation is intended for CiviCRM infrastructure administrators.

CiviCRM core .mo files

• the l10n job is run daily from Jenkins (https://test.civicrm.org/view/i18n/job/CiviCRM-l10n-mo-build/)
• Jenkins is configured to run the job on test-ubu1204-5.c.o (under the jenkins user)
• Debian/Ubuntu packages that must be present: transifex-client and gettext
• The jenkins user has the Transifex credentials for the civicrm_maintenance in ~/.transifexrc.
• The jenkins user has an ssh key for the mlutfy-civicrm github account, which can push to the l10n repository.
