translations: Load translations from page_params.translation_data.

With this commit, we change how we deal with translation for strings.
Previously we used to fetch the translations data after loading which
created a lot of unpleasant race bugs.

So we changed this to use the `translation_data` sent in `page_params`
which is available at load time. The previous fetching can be useful if
we want to change the string to the changed language without reloading
the page but since we ask the user to reload the page after changing
the default language so fetching after loading isn't useful for us and
hence we can add resource only once.

Ultimately, we can remove the i18next plugins too.  We leave the logic
for clearing local storage, patched to fully clear it.

Fixes: #9087.
