This adds a utility to load in string bundles in a way that they can be
invalidated. This fixes the short-term bug for the new tab. Bug 1761830
tracks the work to move this to the other call sites.

Depends on D142254

This text is cached, and so needs invalidating when the app locale is
changed.

Depends on D142255
