Remove old po/ code for copying .po files from shared directory

Remove old po/ code for copying .po files from shared directory

[Joseph Myers]

po/Makefile has both old code for copying .po files from a shared
directory /com/share/ftp/gnu/po/maint/glibc (presumably once present
on some GNU server), and new code for downloading them from the
Translation Project.  This patch removes the old code, leading only
the new code.

Tested for x86_64.

Why is the glibc PO file hosted on the Translation Project instead of
DamnedLies?

TP has only 90-odd languages (and only 35 with glibc projects) and
DamendLies has 190-odd languages.

Is it a re-licensing / copyright waiver collection thing?

The Translation Project is the normal place used by GNU tools such as gcc, 
binutils, make, coreutils, sed, gawk, etc.; I don't see why glibc would do 
anything different.
  
glibc does indeed require translation disclaimers filed at the FSF, as      
stated at <https://translationproject.org/domain/libc.html>.
