feat: add i18n_tool compile [DIRECTORY] command | FC-0012

[OmarIthawi]

i18n_tool generate generates and compiles .po files. As a user I'd like to have a compile [directory] step in which all .mo files are compiled recursivley without a need for a configuration file.

This would replace the Open edX commands:

• compile_plugin_translations
• compile_xblock_translations

This would be a good refactor to allow more IDAs to utilize atlas pull for their plugins similar to the edx-platform features:

• edx-platform commit - feat: atlas pull plugins translation
  
• edx-platform:docs/decisions Design for Refactoring Translations pull to use Atlas

This will also make the edx-platform slightly less of a monolith by moving out reusable components into other packages.
