[bug #58643] ITS - Double escapes when merging translations back to XML

[Bruno Haible]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #58643 (project gettext):

As PO files are not XML files, maybe we need to distinguish character entities
from other entities (defined through <!ENTITY ...>). The latter frequently
occur in Docbook XML files can meaningfully occur in msgids and msgstrs.

So, as I see it:
* xgettext should map character entities to plain Unicode characters, and
leave other entities unchanged.
* msgfmt should not escape the msgstr when storing it in the merged XML file.

Daiki, what do you think? Is this correct?
