1. Build po/ipa.pot every time we update PO files (each build)
2. Drop any rebuilt PO changes if the only difference is in the
translation file's header in a timestamp or timestamp+bug report
link.
3. Only apply the logic for dropping the changes if we are operating on
a git tree checkout because there is no otherwise an easy way to
detect the changes.
4. Hook strip-po target to the cleanup target to allow dropping unneeded
translation changes automatically.
5. Finally, strip ipaclient/remote_plugins/* locations from the ipa.pot
template. This saves us around 23,000 lines from the ipa.pot file and
reduces visual clutter in the translation files.
This approach allows to avoid unneccesary commits because even when
there are no changes to translation files, po/ipa.pot header would be
updated with a new translation update timestamp.

We now use standard framework generatedby "gettextize" utility.
It has two limitations which I do not consider sufficiently important
to invest into hand-made solution:
1. It can automatically gather strings only from files which have some
file extension like .c or .py. Right now we do not have any
translatable strings in Python files without extensions. Given that these
files will be removed from source tree and replaced with entry points
from setuptools I do not see a reason to invest into supporting this.
2. It does not automatically strip untranslated strings from po files.
This is a manual step in mainteiner's in workflow anyway so I will
add separate Makefile target for it later on.
This commit contains gettextize instrastructure + filled-in files
Makevars and POTFILES.in.
