-docs: Started documenting plugins.
* Also added a couple of missing command-line options, and added a local table of contents to the (rather long) command line options page. -Added a separate CI target for localisation updates that produces an artefact, and removed the message catalogs from the trigger paths for the Linux CI build.

+GDB Stub Plugin
+===============
+
+The GDB stub plugin acts as a remote debugging server for the GNU debugger
+(GDB). This allows you to connect to MAME and debug supported systems using
+GDB. The plugin listens for connections on port 2159 on the IPv4 loopback
+address (127.0.0.1). Only Intel 80386 (i386) family processors are supported.
+
+See the :ref:`debugger option <mame-commandline-debugger>` for another GDB
+remote debugging implementation with support for more CPUs and configurable
+listening ports.
