[Koha] [translate] Migrate Pootle to Weblate

[Jonathan Druart]

Hello everybody,

A quick update, I am back on this and I logged the progress on the wiki:
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Translation_server_migration_weblate
If you have worked with Weblate already and know it well, please let me
know, I have a couple of questions :)

Cheers,
Jonathan

> There are some changes in how the projects are structured.
> We will now have 2 projects: "koha" and "koha-manual". Each will

> One component in Pootle can only track on po file, which means we need
> one component per po file:

> The big win are:
> * We should no longer get "Critical errors: Python brace placeholders"

> * Translation changes will be propagated between the components of a
