Alright, I removed the copyright line on my side

It only runs it once here, but there are three files to translate:
guix.xx.texi, guix-cookbook.xx.texi and contributing.xx.texi.

It looks like depending on make-go or make-core-go means we rebuild the
texi files everytime we run "make", so that's not great :/. I'll see if
I can isolate guix/build/po.scm (any ideas?).
