I18n users request: add the ability to use a translated name for newly added/created objects or other datablocks.

This simply adds a third "translation type" (in addition to iface and tip), "new data", with relevant user settings flag and helper funcs/macros (and py api).

Currently implemented name translation when adding new objects, as well as modifiers and constraints, will add the others (cd layers, scenes, perhaps nodes [though I think they do not need this], etc.) later.
