Replace the 'relative-time' element scripting with custom, translatable rewrite (#6154)

This is my take to fix #6078
Should also resolve #6111

As far as I can tell, Forgejo uses only a subset of the relative-time functionality, and as far as I can see, this subset can be implemented using browser built-in date conversion and arithmetic. So I wrote a JavaScript to format the relative-time element accordingly, and a Go binding to generate the translated elements.

This is my first time writing Go code, and my first time coding for a large-scale server application, so please tell me if I'm doing something wrong, or if the whole approach is not acceptable.
