What does this MR do?

Switch to using gettext:compile instead of gettext:pack in the locale install docs

Why was this MR needed?

To prevent the gitlab.pot file from being updated with codebase changes during install. Instead of searching the codebase for missing translation text, this just accepts the current gitlab.pot and compiles the locales.

This ensures that the locale files are the same for ever install on the same commit/tag. Omnibus already uses gettext:compile

Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?
