#37287: wp_print_admin_notice_templates() does not use _n*() for plural forms

 Function wp_print_admin_notice_templates()
 (https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-
 admin/includes/update.php#L615) does not properly use _n() and related
 functions for plural forms of its strings. It just makes a simple if
 (count ===1) check and uses two different strings - one for singular, one
 for plural form.

 This presents a problem when translating into languages that have more
 than one plural form, or more complicated rules for singular form usage.
 For example, in Lithuanian we also use singular form for 21, 1241 and any
 other number that ends with 1 (except for 11). And we have two plural
 forms - one for numbers ending with a zero, another for everything else.
 In current situation we can not have a proper translation here.
