Translation now set up for "krita/3.0" branch

[Boudewijn Rempt]

Hi,

This follows the usual KDE practice, but with 3.0.1, we'll be following a
different release process, where master is the stable branch. The 3.0 branch
won't get updates anymore, and we should probably delete it. 

We'll be working with a two week merge window to master (we're in the second
week of the window right now) and a four week translation/stabilisation phase,
for a six week release cycle from now on.

What I don't know is how to setup the translation system for that to work
properly: translators should work on the master branch from now on, and
everything that Friedrich described here actually should be reverted...
