Renamed the CLI templates for frontend plugins:
- new-frontend-plugin → frontend-plugin
- new-frontend-plugin-module → frontend-plugin-module
- frontend-plugin (legacy) → legacy-frontend-plugin
Added auto-detection logic that checks packages/app/package.json to
determine which frontend system the app uses. When using default
templates, only the appropriate frontend plugin template is shown:
- Apps with @backstage/frontend-defaults see the new system templates
- Apps with @backstage/app-defaults see the legacy template
Both templates display as "frontend-plugin" to users, so existing
workflows are preserved while automatically using the correct template.

The built-in templates used by `yarn new` are moved from `packages/cli/templates/`
to `packages/cli-module-new/templates/`, colocating them with the code that
consumes them.
A backwards compatibility rewrite in the template resolution ensures that
existing `@backstage/cli/templates/*` references in root `package.json`
configurations continue to work by transparently resolving them to
`@backstage/cli-module-new/templates/*`.

Updated `resolvePackagePath` to correctly resolve `package.json` for dynamic plugins that bundle their own copy of `@backstage/backend-plugin-api`. This change ensures that the resolution works for both the host application and bundled dependencies, enhancing compatibility with plugins created using the `backstage-cli package bundle` command.

Moves the messages/ path segment from being hardcoded into the export
and import commands to being part of the pattern itself. The default
pattern is now messages/{id}.{lang}.json, giving full control over the
directory structure under the translations output directory.

Uses PackageRoles.getRoleInfo from cli-node to determine frontend packages
by platform instead of a hardcoded role list. Removes the --pattern option
from the import command since the pattern is always read from the manifest.

Adds a changeset for the new translations export/import CLI commands.
Updates the internationalization docs with the CLI-based workflow as
the recommended approach for managing translations, and adds the
commands to the CLI reference. Also adds the internationalization
page to the mkdocs navigation.
