#34967: SHORTINIT and date_i18n: Call to undefined function _x()

 When SHORTINIT is used together with date_i18n() wp-includes/l10n.php is
 not loaded, and results the following error:

 Fatal error: Call to undefined function _x() in /wp-includes
 /functions.php on line 178

 The following code can be used to reproduce the error:
 {{{#!php
 <?php
 define('SHORTINIT', true);
 require_once('./wp-load.php');
 $now = date_i18n('Y-m-d H:i:s');
 }}}

 This bug appeared in 4.4, with 4.3.1 it worked fine.

 I've tried to investigate what happend since 4.3.1 that causes this
 change, I've find out that it's neither wp-settings.php nor wp-load.php.

 I believe a '''wp_load_translations_early()''' call somewhere has been
 moved since 4.3.1, but I could not find that in revision history :(
