#34221: Plural-Forms in .po files break Django's translation precedence.

------------------------------------------------+------------------------
According to the
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/topics/i18n/translation/#how-
django-discovers-translations| documentation], Django reads translations
from `LOCALE_PATHS` first, then from apps in `INSTALLED_APPS`, and then
from its own folders.
This behaviour breaks if the files in `LOCALE_PATHS` contain `Plural-
Forms` while those found in `INSTALLED_APPS` don't.
To test this behaviour I created a test project on github here:
https://github.com/armisael/test-django-i18n-preference
The project contains a .po file with `Plural-Forms` and a single
translation that is also included in one of the dependencies. A single
test checks which translation is picked.
With the current configuration, the test fails by using the dependency
translation. It passes if:
1) the dependency is removed from `INSTALLED_APPS`; or if
2) `Plural-Forms` is removed from the .po file.
1) proves that i18n is correctly configured, and that the dependency
translation is picked over the project one; 2) proves that `Plural-Forms`
is involved in the bug.
