In order to support translated basewiki and other underlays, we need
support for mo files in underlays.
The code did not allow this before, because if a mo file was in an
underlay, then it might try to update it, and its pot, and write to the
underlay, which is guaranteed to either fail due to permissions, or be
undesirable.
To fix, my approach is to just detect if a mo or pot file that is about to
be updated is in an underlay, and skip updating it. This seems to work
well:
- If the mo is out of date in the underlay, it won't get updated, but this
would probably be due to a problem in the underlay, or more likely,
the wiki is being rebuilt and so it *thinks* the mo is out of date,
but it's really not (and it would be a waste of time to rebuild it
anyway).
- If a page from the basewiki is edited, it is saved to the srcdir,
which causes generation of an updated mo and pot also in the srcdir;
the underlay stops being used for that page, and everything seems
to work.
Note that I am not including an underlay search directory for pot files.
They *seem* to be unnecessary for the underlay, since the mo files
in there never need to be updated.
These are for use by wikis where the primary language is not English.
On such a wiki, it makes sense to use an underlay has the source for pages
in the native language.
... as my meta branch probably won't be merged before the po plugin is, contrary
to what I was originally supposing.
This implies removing the po_translation_status_in_links and
po_strictly_refresh_backlinks options.
Added a note to the TODO section to think of bringing these features back later,
as they really enhance user experience on a translatable wiki.

This has to be done after the rename/remove plugins have added
their buttons, so we set this hook to be run last.
The canrename/canremove hooks already ensure this is forbidden
at the backend level, so this is only UI sugar.

The main reason to do so is to bypass the "favor the type of linking page on
page creation" logic, which is unsuitable when a broken link is clicked on
a slave (PO) page.

... so that nicepagetitle hook's effects, such as translation status displayed
in links, are updated when the linked page changes.
The replacement of 'my %backlinks' with 'our %backlinks' in Render.pm made this
work: previously, every postscan hook was called with an almost empty
%backlinks, which defeated all my attempts to implement this feature.
This feature hits performance a bit. Its cost was quite small in my real-world
use-cases (a few percents bigger refresh time), but could be bigger in worst
cases. Time will tell.
NB: this hack could also be used by my meta branch. It may even be a ikiwiki
optional feature.
