[v11.0/forgejo] fix(i18n): prevent incorrect logging on strings missing in JSON locales (#7599)

**Backport:** https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/7594

Fixes https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/7591
Followup to https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/6203

Without the 3rd commit, when this test runs, an error message appears in the logs:
```
[E] Missing translation "incorrect_root_url"
```

With it, it does not. No changes to the actual locale handling are expected and I'm hoping there's enough other testing in place for that.
