Returns the top directory for GIMP locale files.
If the environment variable `GIMP3_LOCALEDIR` exists, that is used. It should be an absolute pathname. Otherwise, on Unix the compile-time defined directory is used. On Windows, the installation directory as deduced from the executable's full filename is used.
The returned string is owned by GIMP and must not be modified or freed. The returned string is in the encoding used for filenames by GLib, which isn't necessarily UTF-8 (on Windows it is always UTF-8).
On UNIX the returned string can be passed directly to the `bindtextdomain()` function from `libintl`; on Windows the returned string can be converted to UTF-16 and passed to the `wbindtextdomain()` function from `libintl`.
