tmac/LOCALIZATION: Correct and clarify.
Loading a character set translation macro file is important less for localized input (which is likely to be in UTF-8 and then preconv(1)ed anyway) as for enabling troff to interpret the hyphenation pattern files, which historically have been in single-byte 8-bit encodings. See <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57594#comment9>.
