  locale: Make pot file generation stable (#8010)

* libvector: Use the same plural string for vertices registered in build_sfa.c

The message "One vertex registered" is used in build_nat.c with the plural
"%" PRId64 " vertices registered" and in build_sfa.c with "%d vertices
registered". A .pot file keeps only one plural form per singular msgid, and
xgettext keeps the first one it reads. The input file list comes from find,
whose order is not stable, so the template flipped between the two forms
from one update to the next. Each flip changed the msgid and made the
existing translations fuzzy.

Use the 64-bit form in build_sfa.c as well, casting the int counters, so
all three call sites share one msgid_plural.

Prepared with AI assistance (Claude Code); the root cause was found from
the history of locale/templates/grasslibs.pot.

* locale: Sort the input file lists for xgettext

The lists of files given to xgettext come from find, whose order depends
on the filesystem and can differ between runners. When the same msgid is
used with different plural forms, xgettext keeps the first one it reads, so
the generated .pot files could change without any change in the code.

Sort the lists with LC_ALL=C so that the order is the same everywhere.
