Here’s the WIP patch and associated LibreOffice patch (which didn’t
quite work for some reason: LO wouldn’t look for locales where I wanted
it to.)

Define a new environment variable to determine the directory where
message catalogs ('.mo' files) are to be be looked up.

LibreOffice already has environment variables such as 'BRAND_BASE_DIR'
and 'BRAND_SHARE_RESOURCE_SUBDIR' but these are not helpful in this
case.
