i18n: add complete Polish translation #13

This mostly works but there's a number of untranslated elements in the
menu (stuff like NORMAL and and "today"). Note that using a simple
singular/plural mode is insufficient for many languages. You need N
plural forms and N is fixed per language. Gettext is an overkill but it
has the right design.

Hi @zyga! Thank you for taking the time to do these Polish translations for Fern. 😸

Wow! I hadn't even realized there languages where that was a thing, as I only knew Japanese/Chinese only have singular and then Spanish/English had two.

It's clear that we'll need to improve how Fern handles those then. Will make this a priority since it'll be easier to roll out when there's fewer impacted translations to change afterward.
