Fixes the cmux-next localization debt ratchet red on feat-cmux-next.

#22683 (Chief view gallery) landed ten minutes before the ratchet (#23463), after its baseline was recorded. It added chiefViews.terminal.untitled with "Terminal" in de, es and fr, which the parity check counts as copied English: ChiefViews.xcstrings: identical 0 -> 3. "Terminal" is the standard word in all three, so this documents it in scripts/localization-allowed-omissions.json, in the same form as argument.appStore.tab. It doesn't raise the baseline, which only goes down.

python3 scripts/localization_catalog.py check

• base c425696: exit 1, "localization debt grew past localization-debt-baseline.json … ChiefViews.xcstrings: identical 0 -> 3"
• this head: exit 0, "131 catalogs, 9 locales: 42457 parity errors, within the debt baseline"

Observed / Not run

• Ran: the check above at base and head, tests/test_localization_catalog.py, tests/test_localize_changes.py.
• Not run: nothing else; this only adds a metadata entry.

Summary by cubic

Fixes the localization debt ratchet red on feat-cmux-next by recording chiefViews.terminal.untitled as an allowed omission. The Chief views gallery added "Terminal" as the German, Spanish, and French translation, which the parity check counted as copied English. "Terminal" is the standard UI word in all three locales, so it's documented in scripts/localization-allowed-omissions.json as an invariant instead of raising the debt baseline, which only goes down.

^{Written for commit 9b65d85. Summary will update on new commits.}

Review (independent-subagent): SHIP at 9b65d85

• Diff against feat-cmux-next is only the new chiefViews.terminal.untitled entry in scripts/localization-allowed-omissions.json, and the file still parses as JSON.
• The entry has the same shape as argument.appStore.tab. source is "Terminal", which matches the English value in ChiefViews.xcstrings. identityLocales gives de, es and fr each a non-empty reason string, which is what identity_allowed in scripts/localization_catalog.py needs.
• The word is right. "Terminal" is the standard term in German (das Terminal), Spanish (el terminal) and French (le terminal), and Apple ships Terminal.app under that name in all three locales. Several other locales in the catalog (da, nb, pl, pt-BR, tr, bs) use the same word.
• python3 scripts/localization_catalog.py check exits 0 ("within the debt baseline"; it prints only needs_review notes for the Feed and Home catalogs, which this PR doesn't touch). python3 tests/test_localization_catalog.py: 39 tests OK.
