Full background story of this change:
https://volkerkrause.eu/2021/10/23/kf5-retiring-i18n-noop-macros.html

The part that isn't documented anywhere though is that scripty technically 
still extracts the I18N_NOOP macro (and will have to as long as we support 5 
era code). So there is a temporary shortcut by adding "#define I18N_NOOP(x) x" 
yourself. Not something to rely on long-term, but maybe handy during the 
transition.
