Intl extension in Site Health Check

@clorith approached the team to take a look at the following trac ticket #52654

The first thing that was checked was if this library is in PHP 8.0 since in the documentation it does not appear as such, although @javiercasares analyzed at that time and it seems that it is available. On the other hand @mikeschroder found the source code in Github of the intl extension.

After several analyses, taking into account that half of the WordPress are used in a language that is not the native (English) and that many, therefore, the internationalization is something potential of WordPress, the Hosting team considers that the installation of the PHP-intl extension (Internationalization) should be recommended in the PHP Handbook.
