feat(i18n): localize installer with language picker and config write-through

- Init Localizer at app startup (before self-update prompt) and assign to TrExtension.Localizer
- Register ILocalizer in DI; inject into WizardViewModel and SettingsViewModel
- WizardViewModel: SelectedLanguage ComboBox binding with OnSelectedLanguageChanged -> SetLanguage + InstallContext.Language
- WizardWindow.xaml: DockPanel wraps step chips + language ComboBox (right-aligned)
- Localize all installer XAML: WizardWindow, WelcomePage, PathsPage, ServicePage, UiSettingsPage, InstallPage, SettingsWindow, SelfUpdatePromptWindow
- Localize page Title properties and WizardViewModel.NextButtonText via TrExtension.Localizer
- Persist chosen Language in WriteConfigStep and SettingsViewModel.Save into ui.config.json
- Append installer section to en.json (nav, welcome, paths, service, uiSettings, install, settings, selfUpdate)
