Fixes #2615
This is an alternative to #2617
This PR contains a change in wp-cli.phar, that is being reviewed here wp-cli/i18n-command#228
It allows makepot to correctly parse our bundled JS and extract translation strings.
Using bundle as the source of truth for strings will make our i18n process less fragile, as any code that is included in it will be used to determine the strings to be translated. In return, we lose the position of those strings in our code as well as translators comments, something that has already been done on gutenberg to automate translations.
