Remove gettext doc excerpt until the license is sorted out.

The Free Software Foundation has distributed the GNU gettext manual
under at least two different licenses (a brief copyleft and GNU FDL),
but neither of those seems compatible with the GPLv2 of ELinks.

First set Plural-Forms: header (msgid "" at top of .po file) to some correct
value, depending on language.
To help you in this, here is an excerpt from GNU gettext documentation:
Only one form:
Some languages only require one single form. There is no distinction
between the singular and plural form. An appropriate header entry
would look like this:
Plural-Forms: nplurals=1; plural=0;
Languages with this property include:
Finno-Ugric family
Hungarian
Asian family
Japanese, Korean
Turkic/Altaic family
Turkish
Two forms, singular used for one only:
This is the form used in most existing programs since it is what English
is using. A header entry would look like this:
Plural-Forms: nplurals=2; plural=n != 1;
(Note: this uses the feature of C expressions that boolean expressions
have to value zero or one.)
Languages with this property include:
Germanic family
Danish, Dutch, English, German, Norwegian, Swedish
Finno-Ugric family
Estonian, Finnish
Latin/Greek family
Greek
Semitic family
Hebrew
Romanic family
Italian, Portuguese, Spanish
Artificial
Esperanto
Two forms, singular used for zero and one:
Exceptional case in the language family. The header entry would be:
Plural-Forms: nplurals=2; plural=n>1;
Languages with this property include:
Romanic family
French, Brazilian Portuguese
Three forms, special case for zero:
The header entry would be:
Plural-Forms: nplurals=3; plural=n%10==1 && n%100!=11 ? 0 : n != 0 ? 1 : 2;
Languages with this property include:
Baltic family
Latvian
Three forms, special cases for one and two:
The header entry would be:
Plural-Forms: nplurals=3; plural=n==1 ? 0 : n==2 ? 1 : 2;
Languages with this property include:
Celtic
Gaeilge (Irish)
Three forms, special case for numbers ending in 1[2-9]:
The header entry would look like this:
Plural-Forms: nplurals=3; \
plural=n%10==1 && n%100!=11 ? 0 : \
n%10>=2 && (n%100<10 || n%100>=20) ? 1 : 2;
Languages with this property include:
Baltic family
Lithuanian
Three forms, special cases for numbers ending in 1 and 2, 3, 4,
except those ending in 1[1-4]:
The header entry would look like this:
Plural-Forms: nplurals=3; \
plural=n%10==1 && n%100!=11 ? 0 : \
n%10>=2 && n%10<=4 && (n%100<10 || n%100>=20) ? 1 : 2;
Languages with this property include:
Slavic family
Croatian, Czech, Russian, Slovak, Ukrainian
Three forms, special case for one and some numbers ending in 2, 3, or 4:
The header entry would look like this:

Languages with this property include:
