[Lazarus] Replacing LRT format with RSJ

[Denis Kozlov]

It would be useful to have a built-in option to regenerate base PO file
(and update translated PO files) for a project.

This could involve:
1) Removing all existing LRT, LRJ, RST, RSJ.
2) Forcing project to be recompiled to reprocess resourcestrings and
produce RSJ
3) Forcing forms to be resaved to reprocess LFM and produce LRJ

I have performed these steps manually on several occasions to ensure a
clean regenerated PO file.
