Some of the translation files did not escape the < properly leading
to po4a aborting. Also some translators are using old templates
and this merges them to the new ones.

The install target was using the wrong directory and would throw
some errors where a language couldn't translate man pages. This
one should be hopefully more robust.
Downloaded the updated translations of the binaries and the manpages
from translation project. Then fixed the typos that caused po4a to
fail, mainly errant spaces.
Using the newer po4a tool for manpage translations. Also removing
the manpage po file update from dist target because it should be
something the is explicitly done.
The git repository will hold the original man pages and the
po translation files. The distribution tarball will hold those
and the translated manpages. This means most people won't need po4a
as the distribution fill will have these translated manpages.
The previous Makefile rule would only put the first required file
into the pot file because it used $< Unfortunately, due to how
po4a tools work, its not just a simple matter of changing it to $^
and you're done, but needs a foreach loop to add -m to each manpage
file.
This is a temporary fix, after some more work looking into po4a the
unified tool (called po4a) will be used.

The translated manpage generation has moved from scripts to
Makefiles. This asists with conditional building as well, no
need to regenerate the German pgrep man page if both
the original pgrep.1 and man-po/de.po is not changed.
My Makefile-fu fails me on producing a cross-product or double
iteration for languages and man pages. Until that is solved
each man page is explicitly built. No big deal but it doesn't
look elegant in the Makefile. Languages will be picked
up automatically if they are found in man-po, man-po/top or
man-po/ps
The README describes the three-step process for translating
the files, incase I forget or someone else wants to update them.
The pot files for man-po are part of the extra_dist target so are
built at dist time. These used to be created as part of the dist-hook.
However it is better to control their builds in the Makefile so they
are conditionally built. It also means distcheck doesn't complain when
they are added to the CLEANFILES.
distcheck failed because the man-po scripts weren't sourcing or
escaping the directories correctly.
This is a partial fix, but at least distcheck is happy.
