Document about PO helper script (po-helper.sh). It covers about installing the script and short usage examples.

It is wrapper to gettext suite, specificallyIt's better to rename the script to other name without the suffix ".sh", so we can reimplement it in other programming language. Maybe we can rename it to `git-po-helper`, and host this helper in a separate project on GitHub.
It might be a good move in the longer term, but if the po-helper.sh is working well enough to fill the need of i18n/l10n team right now, I think documenting the status quo would be a good way to help the contributors immediately. And when we reimplement it (if that is desirable---I have no opinion myself), we certainly would want to update this part of the doc to use the name of the rewritten tool. In any case, I expect that you to be the main reviewer on this topic and you will feed me the final commits, just like any other change in the po/* area via a pull request. In other words, I may have input to the discussion on list, but I won't be applying the result myself---I'll be pulling from git://github.com/git-l10n/git-po.git repository instead. Thanks.
