PATCH v4 1/1 cpupower: add checks for xgettext and msgfmt

Check whether xgettext and msgfmt are available on the system before attempting to generate GNU gettext Language Translations. In case of missing dependency, generate error message directing user to install the necessary package.

---
v1->v2:
As suggested by Shuah:
- Checks for gettext tools outside the target definitions instead of inline
- Replace command with which
v2->v3:
- Update commit message
- Removed the unwanted space under msgmerge introduced in v2 v3->v4:
- Added suggested-by and tested-by tags
- Updated changelog to be more descriptive
