Fixes #20799

When `#perform_later` is called the locale isn't stored on the
queue, which results in a locale reset when the job is performed.

An example of the problem:

    I18n.locale = 'de'
    HelloJob.perform_now # german message, correct

but

    I18n.locale = 'de'
    HelloJob.perform_later # english message, incorrect

This PR attaches the current I18n.locale to every job during the
serialization process. It is then restored during deserialization
and used to perform the job with the correct locale.

It falls back to the default locale if no serialized locale is
found in order to provide backward compatibility with previously
stored jobs. It is not necessary to clear the queue for the update.
