 Based on discussions in WCEU 2019 contributor day, we'd like to allow
 translators and translation editors to communicate about specific strings
 and translations.

 Core GlotPress implemented a "Notes" feature, but as a native GP feature,
 it lacks any type of notification support or any of the basic features we
 associate with comments or discussion (threading, mentions, spam detection
 etc).

 Instead, we'd like to build a bridge between translate.wordpress.org and a
 per-locale specific translations forum.

 This will include:
  - On the GlotPress side, every original should have a link to a specific
 forum topic to discuss its translation to the locale. If the topic doesn't
 exist, it will link to a pre-populated form to create it. Otherwise, it
 will list the number of posts on that topic.
 - The topics will be created in a `translations` forum for each locale
 (i.e https://he.wordpress.org/support/forum/translation/).
 - The topics will link back to the original

 Bonus:
 - When rejecting a translation, the validator will be able to enter a
 comment about the rejection reason, which will be added to the topic as
 well.
