------------------------------------------------+------------------------
Scenario: you have added a path in LOCALE_PATHS for some system-wide (non-
writable) location. When you run `./manage.py compilemessages`, you get a
`CommandError`:
{{{
CommandError: Execution of msgfmt failed:
msgfmt: error while opening
"/path/to/nonwritable/localedir/lang/LC_MESSAGES/messages.mo" for writing:
Permission denied
}}}

Instead we should report the error on stderr and continue running the
command.

Fixed #21732 -- Made compilemessages complain about non-writable location

Instead of crashing with a CommandError, now a non-writable location
of mo files will only make compilemessages complain and continue.
Thanks Ramiro Morales for the review.
