gettext: remove optional non-standard parens in N_() definition
Remove the USE_PARENS_AROUND_GETTEXT_N compile-time option which was meant to catch an inadvertent mistake which is too obscure to maintain this facility. The backstory of how USE_PARENS_AROUND_GETTEXT_N came about is: When I added the N_() macro in6578483036(i18n: add no-op _() and N_() wrappers, 2011-02-22) it was defined as: #define N_(msgid) (msgid) This is non-standard C, as was noticed and fixed in642f85faab(i18n: avoid parenthesized string as array initializer, 2011-04-07). I.e. this needed to be defined as: #define N_(msgid) msgid Then ine62cd35a3e(i18n: log: mark parseopt strings for translation, 2012-08-20) when "builtin_log_usage" was marked for translation the string concatenation for passing to usage() added in1c370ea4e5(Show usage string for 'git log -h', 'git show -h' and 'git diff -h', 2009-08-06) was faithfully preserved: - "git log [<options>] [<since>..<until>] [[--] <path>...]\n" - " or: git show [options] <object>...", + N_("git log [<options>] [<since>..<until>] [[--] <path>...]\n") + N_(" or: git show [options] <object>..."), This was then fixed to be the expected array of usage strings ine66dc0cc4b(log.c: fix translation markings, 2015-01-06) rather than a string with multiple "\n"-delimited usage strings, and finally in290c8e7a3f(gettext.h: add parentheses around N_ expansion if supported, 2015-01-11) USE_PARENS_AROUND_GETTEXT_N was added to ensure this mistake didn't happen again. I think that even if this was a N_()-specific issue this USE_PARENS_AROUND_GETTEXT_N facility wouldn't be worth it, the issue would be too rare to worry about. But I also think that290c8e7a3fwhich introduced USE_PARENS_AROUND_GETTEXT_N misattributed the problem. The issue wasn't with the N_() macro added ine62cd35a3e, but that before the N_() macro existed in the codebase the initial migration to parse_options() in1c370ea4e5continued passsing in a "\n"-delimited string, when the new API it was migrating to supported and expected the passing of an array.
