[Koha] [translate] Migrate Pootle to Weblate

[Mike D.]

Hi,
Great news!

I'm really happy that Koha's new translation solution will be Weblate. In
2013, we used Weblate experimentally to translate Koha into English. Since
then, this originally Czech project has come a long way and has become a
recognized open source translation tool. I believe it will save translators
a lot of work and help us all speed up the release of translations for new
versions.

I'm really looking forward
