gettext: switch to binary catalogs

Binary catalogs are more space efficient (total translations disk usage:
14MB instead of 35MB), and easier and faster (roughly 10 times) to load:
no parsing, and less processing (no need to unescape strings).

Not much difference on the Android APK size (a ~600KB reduction), but
other TAR.GZ / ZIP distributions see a reduction of ~3.5MB.
