Add a bind-translate directive #72

Description

@gunta

Hi!

I'm creating a big application with lot's of translated data where performance is suffering, so while debugging the bottlenecks with Batarang I found that it would be required to have a bind-translated directive.

Why?

Visibility:
While AngularJS is bootstrapping, the user might see your placed brackets in the html. This can be handled with ng-cloak. But for me this is a workaround, that I don't need to use, if I use ng-bind.

Performance:
The {{}} is much slower.
This ng-bind is a directive and will place a watcher on the passed variable. So the ng-bind will only apply, when the passed value does actually change.

The brackets on the other hand will be dirty checked and refreshed in every $digest, even if it's not necessary.

In my experiments, changing from {{}} to strict ng-bind saves around 20~40% in every scope.$digest.

Suggestion:

Use a directive instead of the brackets annotation.
Instead of

{{'Hello'|translate}}

use↓

 <span bind-translate="Hello"></span>

For example angular-translate does this with the directive ng-translate.
