Bug 11631: Make i18n toolchain ignore useless strings

This patch removes several types of strings from the
PO files that cannot be usefully translated, including
ones that consist entirely of punctuation and/or HTML entities.

Test:
1) Update PO files of some lang, xx-YY-*po
cd misc/translator
perl translate update xx-YY
2) Do it again, just in case
3) rm po/xx-YY*po~
4) Extract all msgid's, sorted
cat po/xx-YY*po | egrep "^msgid" | sort | uniq > xx-YY-pre
5) Apply the patch
6) Repeat 1-3
7) Repeat 4 again, other file
cat po/xx-YY*po | egrep "^msgid" | sort | uniq > xx-YY-post
8) Do a diff, inspect results, only strings with %s and \s
diff xx-YY-pre xx-YY-post | less
