 Split off from #5152

 There are some common translation warnings which can be automatically
 corrected, simplifying the translation process by reducing the amount of
 time a translator (and editor) have to spend checking translations.

 The two main ones I see right now that can be automatically fixed are:
  - Newlines, either prefixed or suffixed to originals/translations
  - Unicode percent signs being used rather than ASCII percent signs in
 placeholders

 Are there any others? I'm hesitant to fix mangled HTML tags, as although
 most are usually just an extra space around a `<` or `</` it's a good sign
 of a machine translation that's usually not perfect.
