build: remove obsolete translations from the PO files after merging

These obsolete strings contribute nothing to the translations that the
users get to see.  They are somewhat useful only for translators.  But
as nano is registered at the Translation Project, translators fetch or
receive their PO file from there (or they keep their own archive), so
these obsolete strings are not getting lost.  But for nano, they just
burden the distribution tarball.
