i18n: drop automaticly introduced bad translations - completely remove previously fuzzy translations, not just the fuzzy markers

This is redoing cb02ca192180, but more aggressively.

msgmerge is aggressively adding fuzzy translations of strings that vaguely
resemble each other. But these translations are bad. And even more bad almost
irreversible when we dropped the fuzzy markers.

Consider for example the translation in 0.4.1 at
https://kallithea-scm.org/repos/kallithea/files/da65398a62fff50f3d241796cbf17acdea2092ef/kallithea/i18n/be/LC_MESSAGES/kallithea.po

"Unauthorized access to resource" is translated to "Несанкцыянаваны доступ да
рэсурсу", but the same translation is also used fuzzily for very different
strings. That can't be good. While the translation of a slightly similar string
might be a good starting point for translators, we don't want to show such
automated and invalid translations to our users. Then it is better to show the
orginal english text, that at least is a clear TODO item and doesn't say
anything wrong.

We thus remove these automaticly generated translations. Some of them were
perhaps marked fuzzy for other reasons, and we might lose a few good
translations. That is still better than having wrong translations. Translators
can also just mark the translation as non-fuzzy and deal with the conflict of
diverging opinion on whether the translation is good. Their statement trumps
our presumption that the automated fuzzy translation is bad.

===============
Troubleshooting
===============

:Q: **Missing static files?**
:A: Make sure either to set the ``static_files = true`` in the .ini file or
   double check the root path for your http setup. It should point to
   for example:
   ``/home/my-virtual-python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/kallithea/public``

|

:Q: **Can't install celery/rabbitmq?**
:A: Don't worry. Kallithea works without them, too. No extra setup is required.
    Try out the great Celery docs for further help.

|

:Q: **Long lasting push timeouts?**
:A: Make sure you set a longer timeout in your proxy/fcgi settings. Timeouts
    are caused by the http server and not Kallithea.

|

:Q: **Large pushes timeouts?**
:A: Make sure you set a proper ``max_body_size`` for the http server. Very often
    Apache, Nginx, or other http servers kill the connection due to to large
    body.

|

:Q: **Apache doesn't pass basicAuth on pull/push?**
:A: Make sure you added ``WSGIPassAuthorization true``.

|

:Q: **Git fails on push/pull?**
:A: Make sure you're using a WSGI http server that can handle chunked encoding
    such as ``waitress`` or ``gunicorn``.

|

:Q: **How can I use hooks in Kallithea?**
:A: It's easy if they are Python hooks: just use advanced link in
    hooks section in Admin panel, that works only for Mercurial. If
    you want to use Git hooks, just install th proper one in the repository,
    e.g., create a file `/gitrepo/hooks/pre-receive`. You can also use
    Kallithea-extensions to connect to callback hooks, for both Git
    and Mercurial.

|

:Q: **Kallithea is slow for me, how can I make it faster?**
:A: See the :ref:`performance` section.

|

:Q: **UnicodeDecodeError on Apache mod_wsgi**
:A: Please read: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi/#if-you-get-a-unicodeencodeerror.

|

:Q: **Requests hanging on Windows**
:A: Please try out with disabled Antivirus software, there are some known problems with Eset Antivirus. Make sure
    you have installed the latest Windows patches (especially KB2789397).
