bug#80886: Duplicated "Report translation bugs to" string

The coreutils 9.11 translation file may result in duplicated translated
text pointing to the language team's mailing list because lib/version-etc.c
tells the translator to append the language team's mailing list to "Report
bugs to" and src/system.h has a specific string for the language team's
mailing list.

EXAMPLE OF THE PROBLEM:

See below the trailing lines of 'tr --help' translated in Brazilian
Portuguese (pt_BR) using my yet-to-be-submitted translation file
(attached!).

Notice how the translated text 'Relate erros de tradução para..' is shown
twice.

---
TRANSLATORS: Replace LANG_CODE in this URL with your language code
