Michal Čihař 74004cfb4b fix(trans): detect bilingual PO set as monolingual
Warn when a gettext PO component is configured as monolingual but imports empty source text from regular PO/POT files. Use existing MD5 indexes for the diagnostic query so the daily alert remains cheap.

Translation component diagnostics
=================================
Shows errors in the Weblate configuration or the translation project for any given translation component.
Guidance on how to address found issues is also offered.
Currently the following is covered:
* Duplicated source strings in translation files
* Duplicated languages within translations
* Merge, update, or push failures in the repository
* Parse errors in the translation files
* Billing limits (see :ref:`billing`)
* Repository containing too many outgoing or missing commits
* Missing licenses
* Errors when running add-on (see :doc:`/admin/addons`)
* Misconfigured monolingual or bilingual translation.
* Broken :ref:`component`
* Broken URLs
* Unused screenshots
* Ambiguous language code
* Unused new base in component settings
* Duplicate file mask used for linked components
* Conflicting merge request repository setup
* Component seems unused (configurable by :setting:`UNUSED_ALERT_DAYS`)
* Unused glossary languages
The alerts are updated daily, or on related change (for example when
:ref:`component` is changed or when repository is updated).
Project website availability checks can be disabled using
:setting:`WEBSITE_ALERTS_ENABLED`, in which case Weblate will no longer
generate alerts for unreachable project websites.
Alerts are listed on each respective component page as
:guilabel:`Diagnostics`.
If it is missing, the component clears all current checks. Problem alerts cannot
be ignored, but will disappear once the underlying problem has been fixed.
Information and warning alerts are used for guidance on improving community
localization. These can be dismissed and make the
:guilabel:`Diagnostics` tab visible, but they do not indicate a
component problem in listings.
A component with both duplicated strings and languages looks like this:

Conflicting repository setup
----------------------------
This alert is shown when multiple Git components are configured to push to the
same repository and push branch without all of them pulling from that branch.
This includes pull or merge request workflows, and direct pushes to a separate
push branch. Such a setup can overwrite the shared branch.
To resolve this, either configure a different :guilabel:`Push branch` for each
component or share the repository between components using a
``weblate://project/component`` repository URL.
