setup: use msgmerge for updating translations

Switch from intltool to msgmerge to merge the translations to the
catalog, as it is much easier.

Remove the writing of the temporary POTFILES.in, as it is no more needed
now.

Also, since now gettext is used at installation time:
- mention the gettext requirement in INSTALL.md
- add the gettext BuildRequires in the RPM spec file
