In some countries (such as Australia), it is very common for wages to be paid on a fortnightly basis, that is, every 2 weeks. As a result, a number of other expenses are also paid on a fortnightly basis. This commit extends the `Interval` enum by adding a `FORTNIGHT` option. I have added a test for that, and have updated the translations where possible (not that other than for English and French, the other translations may be suboptimal).

As part of this commit, I have also taken the opportunity to fix some errors with the use of ISO weeks. In particular, the year corresponding to an ISO week is _not_ always the same as the calendar year of the date. Resolves: beancount#1939 Signed-off-by: JP-Ellis <[email protected]>

Summary
I would love to see a
fortnightlytime interval for use within budgets.Motivation
In Australia, it is quite common to have income and debits charged at a fortnightly (every 2 weeks) frequency. It would be really convenient if the budgets in Fava could support a fortnightly interval:
Alternatives
Currently, I just do the conversion explicitly into a weekly amount, but it isn't quite as nice:
Implementation
I would be happy to help contribute a PR if that is a change that would be welcome.
