 Context function `_x()` is used to differ two similar strings with
 different meanings.

 This patch is replacing the context `_x()` function with regular `__()`
 function to merge those strings. And avoid wrong usage of context
 functions.

 Those are similar translation strings. They should be merged. The only
 difference is the `%s` placeholder. We document this difference in
 translators comments, not as a context.

 See the attached screenshot from `translate.wordpress.org` and the
 attached patch.
