[Koha] [Koha-translate] Translators - Do not wrap strings in PO files

[Jonathan Druart]

It's also all on one line when you use Weblate UI.
The question is only for translators translating locally (pull, translate,
push).

For now I will assume we are going to switch to the "one line/no wrap"
option (unless there are strong opinions against it).

I have just noticed that 23.05's PO files are already using this method, I
was not aware of that.
