Programmatic localization support in SfChat

To localize SfChat you need to create a .resx file specific to SfChat and create an interface and renderers.

We already have .resx files for our app. Adding additional files for each control is not realistic. One file per language/translator is doable, multiple is not. Remember - these are not programmers supplying these translations, it's a complicated workflow as it is.

It would be much easier to keep the translations in our .resx file, put the values in our ViewModel, and then expose it to SfChat programmatically.

<SfChat TodayText={Binding TodayTextTranslation} TypeAMessageText={Binding

TypeAMessageTextTranslation

} ...
