test: cover persisted recipe timeline translation key

The recipe-created timeline event was always stored as the translated
English string "Recipe Created", regardless of the request locale.

Now the i18n key "recipe.recipe-created" is stored in the database.
The GET endpoints for timeline events translate system event subjects
using the locale from the request's Accept-Language header, so the
correct translation is returned for any supported locale. Old events
that already contain English strings are returned as-is (backward-
compatible).

Closes #4497
