Related to issue #3536 (Disabling localizations when building):

There should be a way to disable gettext when running Mercurial, e.g. by
setting an environment variable (HGDISABLENLS? HGNOGETTEXT?), so one could
disable translations when running Mercurial from a distribution package or when
only some users on the system want to disable translations.

HGPLAIN disables too much.

Using LANG here is not good either, because e.g. the GUI commit editor or merge
tool should run translated.

Patch would be trivial (two lines code, some lines documentation), but
- is this wanted in core?
- what should the name of the variable be?
