NetBox version

v4.0.0

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Since #15752 there is no way to turn localization off.

I propose to bring this feature back to users.
The simplest way is to just move USE_I18N Django setting inside configuration.py

Use case

Having one unified UI using one same language for all users may be beneficial for international teams. Consider this example: newbie NetBox user asks experienced one about the way of creating a Custom Field. If both of them see different versions of UI (due to different languages), one can't just tell another something like "go to Customization, then Custom Fields" and so on.

Database changes

@arthanson @jeremystretch I can make a PR if you're okay with the proposed implementation
