[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox v3] router: cli: added `ask_for_confirmation` helper

[Gabriel Goller]

Added `ask_for_confirmation` helper that outputs a prompt and
lets the user confirm or deny it. Also added localization using
`libc::nl_langinfo()` to match/show a `yes` or `no` in the correct
language.
Implemented to close #4763.

Signed-off-by: Gabriel Goller <g.goller at proxmox.com>
---

update v3:
 - added localization using `libc::nl_langinfo`

note: skipped to version 3, so that the whole patch series has 
      the same version number.
