Let's assume that a user sets the LILYPOND_LOCALEDIR environment
variable manually for experimental purposes but not in the relocation
files.  To get translated messages early it makes sense to set up the
locale before parsing the relocation files.

Additionally, the code right now is simple.  Calling `bindtextdomain`
multiple times is not expensive, AFAIK.
