Description

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.
