sync plurals fix landed, no change of entity name is cool

[Axel Hecht]

Just to make this public:

http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/955d077e768f just landed,
changing the variable format in those strings to be #1 like in all the
other plural strings. It used %S before, but in a really incompatible way.

Please change your code to use #1.

I expect to issue warnings in the upcoming version of compare-locales
for this.

%S will continue to work for a while at least.

The add-on strings may not support %S, and yet might still land for 1.5,
so when they come in, please be cautious when migrating your fx strings
to the sync add-on.

Is this strictly FF only, or will it propagate all over the place -
like TB etc?
Sensible change btw.

I don't know what TB is doing, SM though has a tracker bug that I
notified about this. It's not gonna spread into the sync add-on, as
that's gonna add the strings still, and likely not going to support %S
as compat shim at all.
