Improve translation sync script path handling

Refactors sync_translations.py to better handle reference and target file path resolution, including fallback logic and improved safety checks. Also adds support for splitting space-separated file lists and auto-discovery of locale files when --files is omitted. Removes unnecessary debug output from check_locales.yml.
