po: update docs to refer to Weblate instead of Zanata

The old information about managing PO files was outdated, as we're
managing files in a different way with Weblate. This also introduces a
badge showing the translation progress across languages.

-::
+The "po" files stored in GIT have source locations removed in order to cut down

+All files are stored with strings sorted in alphabetical order rather than
+source location order, to minimize movement of strings when source locations
+change.
 
-  $ make libvirt.pot
+The "po" files are to be EXCLUSIVELY UPDATED by merge requests sent from the
+Fedora Weblate service. Other contributors MUST NEVER send changes which touch
+the "po" file content, as that will create merge conflicts for Weblate. IOW any
+bug fixes to translations should be made via the Weblate application UI.
 
-The translations are kept in minimized files that are the same file format

-
-  $ make update-po
-
-This merges the "libvirt.pot" with the "$LANG.mini.po" for each language, to
-create the "$LANG.po" files. These are included in the release archives created
-by "make dist".
-
-When a full po file is updated, changes can be propagated back into the
-minimized po files using
-
-::
-
-  $ make update-mini-po
-
-Note, however, that this is generally not something that should be run by
-developers normally, as it is triggered by 'make pull-po' when refreshing

-Zanata web service
-==================
-
-The translation of libvirt messages has been outsourced to the Fedora
-translation team using the Zanata web service:
-
-https://fedora.zanata.org/project/view/libvirt
-
-As such, changes to translations will generally NOT be accepted as patches
-directly to libvirt GIT. Any changes made to "$LANG.mini.po" files in libvirt
-GIT will be overwritten and lost the next time content is imported from Zanata.
-
-The master "libvirt.pot" file is periodically pushed to Zanata to provide the
-translation team with content changes, using
-
-::
-
-  $ make push-pot
-
-New translated text is then periodically pulled down from Zanata to update the
-minimized po files, using
-
-::
-
-  $ make pull-po
-
-Sometimes the translators make mistakes, most commonly with handling printf
-format specifiers. The "pull-po" command re-generates the .gmo files to try to
-identify such mistakes. If a mistake is made, the broken msgstr should be
-deleted in the local "$LANG.mini.po" file, and the Zanata web interface used
-to reject the translation so that the broken msgstr isn't pulled down next time.
-
-After pulling down new content the diff should be examined to look for any
-obvious mistakes that are not caught automatically. There have been bugs in
-Zanata tools which caused messges to go missing, so pay particular attention to
-diffs showing deletions where the msgid still exists in libvirt.pot
