Removed @tryghost/i18n placeholder dev script from pnpm dev fan-out

[9larsons]

Removed the dev script and its inline Nx target from ghost/i18n/package.json. The script was echo "Implement me!" — a never-filled scaffolding slot — but it was pulled into pnpm dev via the ^dev chain because the public apps depend on @tryghost/i18n.

Why it's safe

• i18n locales are static JSON in ghost/i18n/locales/* — loaded by the Ghost backend at runtime, no build step.
• The public-app UMDs (portal, comments-ui, signup-form, sodo-search, announcement-bar) bundle their own locales at build time via their own Vite configs — they import ghost/i18n/lib/i18n.js directly (visible in dev-server output) and don't depend on an i18n watcher.
• Translation extraction is the translate script, not dev.

Verified

• pnpm nx show project @tryghost/i18n no longer lists a dev target.
• pnpm dev:daemon boots cleanly: 17 tasks fan out (was 18), no nx run @tryghost/i18n:dev line, no Implement me! line. Ghost backend up on :2368, admin Vite ready, all six public-app UMDs return 200 via Caddy at /ghost/assets/<app>/<app>.min.js.
• pnpm --filter @tryghost/i18n test:base still green (100% coverage).

Walkthrough

In ghost/i18n/package.json, the scripts.dev entry (a placeholder echoing "Implement me!") is removed. The nx.targets block, which contained a dev target with continuous: true, is also removed, leaving the nx configuration with only the tags array.
