[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Remove outdated translations from Translatewiki (Issue #6819)

[Andy Allan]

gravitystorm created an issue (openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website#6819)

In #6617 we added the `layouts.donate` translation key. It turns out that we had used this previously (https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/5169 and references), and Translatewiki has kept the old translations for this key. These old translations have now resurfaced.

The old translations contain an interpolation variable, which causes errors. We've worked around this issue for the last couple of weeks by repeatedly removing the outdated translations ( https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/commit/a9c6d3b7bf91a2a5df650805d6175d115f6821aa , https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/commit/ec7af603382db0067022b6fb853900aecc7087ea ) but we don't want to keep doing so indefinitely.

I would like to blank these translations on Translatewiki, to allow them to be re-translated in due course. However, Translatewiki won't accept my attempts at blanking these translations, and I don't feel like I can just "pick something" for all the affected languages.

So we have three ways forward:
* Keep deleting them every week, until eventually everything is translated
* Use a different key, one that hasn't been used before
* Arrange for a translatewiki moderator to remove the affected translations

@translatewiki are you able to help with the third option?
