Check formatted arguments as well as text.

For source Hello and translation Bonjour {price, number}, this check returns no error. The compiler passes only text tokens to the callback, and the other checks do not inspect number arguments. The previous brace scan rejected this translation. At runtime, the missing price renders as NaN. Compare formatted argument tokens against the source too. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

- 63:
Update the catalog integrity check using compileMessageOrThrow so it compares
formatted argument tokens in each translation against the source, in addition to
scanning text tokens for braces; reject translations that introduce arguments
absent from the source.

Use msgid as the source for ordinary messages.

If the English msgstr drops {name}, this lookup also stops checking for {name} in every other locale. English is excluded from the locale loop, so the test does not catch that change either. The previous comparison against msgid caught the missing placeholder in other locales.

Use the English msgstr only for explicit IDs, and check ordinary English entries against their msgid. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comment at @packages/i18n/test/catalog-integrity.test.ts at line 103:
Update sourceText so ordinary messages use msgid as the source, while only
explicit IDs use the English msgstr; preserve the existing lookup behavior for
explicit-ID entries.
