Add rules to generate a template (po/git.pot) listing messages marked
for translation in the C portion of git.

Can we please not apply this?

I included it in the series because I used it to test, for what it's
worth.

I also think it could be useful to translators, so they could work
against git.git directly once it has enough translatable strings.
That sounds valuable to me.

Yeah it's valuable, but I'm just optimizing this for the time I can
spent on it, I already have a patch series that has these things. It's
much easier if I can:

 1. Apply C translations
 2. Apply Shell translations
 3. Apply Translation documentation / po/* stuff

Then later:

 4. Add actual gettext support

But not have to deal with bits of #3 while I do #1 and #2. That's all.

Since hopefully we'll get to #3 relatively quickly I think that's OK.
