Localized entity elements

Mark translatable fields with localized:

entity Products : cuid {
  localized title       : String(111);
  localized description : LargeString;
  price                 : Decimal(9,2);  // not localized — price is not translated
  currency              : Currency;
}

CAP auto-generates a Products_texts table with locale and ID keys. Translations are served automatically based on req.locale.
