Description of the Change
Removes the bundled translation file,
localization/simple-page-ordering.pot, in favour of using the version distributed by WordPress.org.Since WordPress 4.6, plugins hosted on the WordPress Plugin Repository no longer need to include pot files as Core will automatically download the files from the translation repository, see this make/core post.
As a result of this, plugins can remove bundled
.potfiles.Closes #255
