Summary: Add a locale translation file that we can install to modify the error message that most programs print for `ENOTCONN` errors. Any I/O operations inside an unmounted FUSE mount will fail with `ENOTCONN`. Many users don't really know what to do when they encounter this error. This alternate error message should hopefully help point them in the right direction.

This directory contains some locale files that can be installed to tweak some common system error messages.
In particular this changes the message replaces the error message for
ENOTCONN to suggest that the user try running eden doctor if they are in an
Eden checkout. When using an Eden checkout, receiving an ENOTCONN error from
the filesystem normally means that the checkout has been unmounted. This can
happen if the edenfs daemon has died or been restarted.
Not all ENOTCONN errors are related to Eden. Since this file just globally
replaces the translation it can end up showing this advice in some cases that
aren't relevant. However ENOTCONN is fairly rare in other circumstances.
It can be generated by socket APIs, but normally only as a result of programmer
error: attempting to read from or get the peer name on a network socket that
was never connected, or that was already explicitly shutdown. These other
situations primarily only occur for developers writing network programs and are
rare for other users.
If you edit glibc_en.po you can regenerate glibc_en.mo by running
msgfmt -o glibc_en.mo glibc_en.po
