I'm working on making sure the mkdocs-static-i18n plugin is compatible with the blog plugin

Description

The blog plugin adds file objects to the Files structure in the on_nav event handler which is not an expected behavior and breaks expectations from other plugins.

Files should be manipulated only on the on_files event hander.

The on_nav event handler of the blog plugins calls methods such as _generate_archive, _generate_categories and _generate_pages which are adding file-like objects to the files one.

Other plugins such as the mkdocs-static-i18n rely on the fact that the files structure does not change after the on_files event handler is done.
