`msgfmt` has an option to compile fuzzy messages: `-f` or `--use-fuzzy`. I
propose adding this parameter to the compilemessages command.

It would be useful in a project I'm working on where we code in English
but the client reviews it in Spanish and we translate the messages for a
development deployment (leaving them fuzzy) and once we are ready for
shipping a translator checks all the fuzzy messages.

Without this option either the develop deployment stays untranslated or
the translator doesn't know which strings are the new ones that he has to
check.

Sorry, it seems I'm unable to read today. #10852 was about makemessages
and this one is about compilemessages.

@flagZ, can you review the patch? It needs to be updated since 1.7 is now
feature frozen.

#18714: Add an option to compilemessages to compile fuzzy translations
-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------

Comment (by claudep):

I've just committed a slight improvement (simple enough to warrant 1.7
backport), which allows someone to subclass the command to add
complementary options with one line of code (in the same vein as
06efeae598c6dafbe56d2ea323a0dccdd5bf2b8e).

But the patch still makes sense (to be able to specify --fuzzy per command
invocation).
