FS#34240. This is useful for translators and has little cost to us since
we moved to transifex for translations.

This is the first step at separating the pacman message catalog and the
scripts message catalog. Makefiles, configure.ac, and other such files
are adjusted accordingly, as well as renaming files. The TEXTDOMAIN of
scripts is also adjusted.
Note that no actual pot or po files get changed here; these will get
pruned in a future commit so each catalog contains only the necessary
messages.

Our keywords were all screwed up in this regard. Fix it so our
ngettext() shortcut calls are actually recognized and respected.

Add the --no-location xgettext option to disable the line numbers. They are
not very useful, and generate a huge number of pointless line changes on
every update.

Currently xgettext apparently attempts to autodetect c format strings (eg a
string with a %s) to decide whether to use c-format flag or not.
If we use --flag=_:1:c-format instead of --flag=_:1:pass-c-format, the
c-format will be applied everywhere.
I couldn't find this documented anywhere though. But the pass prefix is
mentioned here :
http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/xgettext-Invocation.html#xgettext-Invocation
"Specifies additional flags for strings occurring as part of the argth
argument of the function word. The possible flags are the possible format
string indicators, such as ‘c-format’, and their negations, such as
‘no-c-format’, possibly prefixed with ‘pass-’."
And c-format is documented there :
http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/c_002dformat-Flag.html#c_002dformat-Flag
"This situation happens quite often. The printf function is often called
with strings which do not contain a format specifier. Of course one would
normally use fputs but it does happen. In this case xgettext does not
recognize this as a format string but what happens if the translation
introduces a valid format specifier? The printf function will try to access
one of the parameters but none exists because the original code does not
pass any parameters."
And that's exactly what happened with FS#9658.
So using c-format for every string will prevent this issue from happening
again.

* Makefile targets to rebuild po files now work - use 'make update-po' in
the po directories.
* Added two new translation templates as requested on the ML- 'it' and
'pt_BR'.
This commit might be a bit big for the mailing list to like on the commit
message. :)
