Change all the "TRANSLATORS: [...]" comments in the C code to use the
regular Git coding style, and amend the style guide so that the
example there uses that style.

This custom style was necessary back in 2010 when the gettext support
was initially added, and was subsequently documented in commit
cbcfd4e3ea ("i18n: mention "TRANSLATORS:" marker in
Documentation/CodingGuidelines", 2014-04-18).

GNU xgettext hasn't had the parsing limitation that necessitated this
exception for almost 3 years. Since its 0.19 release on 2014-06-02
it's been able to recognize TRANSLATOR comments in the standard Git
comment syntax[1].

My gettext version is 0.19.8.1.  I applied this patch and checked the
new generated `git.pot` file, all "TRANSLATORS:" directions are well
kept as usual.

Ævar, sorry that this patch fell through cracks about 20 days ago.
I'll queue with Acked-by by Jiang.

Thanks, both.
