You could, but certainly don't have to, squash in the below. I.e. this
is the last user of eval_ngettext!

I mentioned in [ref] that I'd recently
come up with pretty much the same diff, that was because I was seeing
how much of the shellscript gettext support I could rip out.

This is a major step to getting a whole section of git's shellscript
support infrastructure out-of-tree, i.e. git-sh-i18n.sh, and the
sh-i18n--envsubst built-in helper.

If I then merge mirucam/git-bisect-work-part4-v6 &
gitster/ar/submodule-run-update-procedure along with this we'll have a
relatively small amount of gettext-in-sh code left, which should be
entirely gone before too long. Yay!
