Format all PO files with dprint

[mgeisler]

This enforces a consistent formatting for the PO files. The goal of this is to avoid large diffs due to random and unnecessary reformatting.

We use the format of msgcat: this is also waht msgmerge produces and it’s easy to replicate for people by installing Gettext and running dprint fmt.

This is a follow-up to #1351 which started enforcing that the msgid fields don’t change due to reformatting in a PR.

If this turns out to be cumbersome, then we can disable it again.

Note that this will require translators to install the Gettext tools and dprint so they can run dprint fmt before sending out a file for review. I've tried to avoid this until now since I wanted to make it as easy as possible to contribute to a translation. But when the Poeditors don't format things consistently, we end up with a mess.

We'll probably need to update the instructions in TRANSLATE.md, right?
