Replace DeepL with a self-hosted translation engine
The DeepL free tier is metered (it failed in production with HTTP 456
Quota exceeded) and would require every deployment of this platform to
carry its own API account. Translation now runs on M2M100 418M (MIT) via
CTranslate2, shipped inside the pipeline image: no key, no quota, and no
content or visitor data leaving the server.

Also restores the multi-source behaviour of the original WordPress plugin,
which the Python port had narrowed to Spanish-only. Any of the three site
languages can now be the authored original.

Because any language can be a source, loop prevention is no longer
structural and is now explicit: generated siblings carry `translated_from`
and are never treated as sources, and the bot's own [skip-translate]
commits are skipped outright (that marker was already being written but
never read).

Markup protection moves in-process now that DeepL's tag_handling=html is
gone. Code blocks and raw HTML pass through untouched; link targets,
inline code and protected community terms are masked with placeholders
that are verified to survive the round trip, failing the pipeline rather
than shipping corrupted text.

Two fixes along the way:

- Generated siblings no longer inherit the source's `slug`. They did,
  which meant the first retranslation of a WordPress-migrated post moved
  /de/<german-slug>/ onto /de/<spanish-slug>/ and destroyed the inbound
  link preservation wp-to-hugo.py exists for.
- `manual_translation` now works from the CMS. Decap only ever exposed it
  on the source while the script read it on the target, so the toggle did
  nothing. It now means "hands off" on both sides.

wp-to-hugo.py marks migrated Polylang siblings frozen, since those are
human translations and regenerating them would replace them with weaker
machine output.

Adds --backfill for sources missing siblings, which also fixes the
existing 404s on /de/page/acerca/ and /pt-br/page/contacto/.

"""Self-hosted translation step for Woodpecker CI.
Replaces the DeepL API call this script used to make, and restores the
multi-source behaviour of the original WordPress plugin: any of the three site
languages may be the authored original, and the other two are generated from
it. Translation runs on a model shipped inside the pipeline image, so there is
no API key, no quota and no third-party request.
Loop prevention, which was structural back when only Spanish could be a source:
* a generated sibling carries `translated_from`, and a file carrying it is
never itself treated as a source;
* the bot's own commits carry [skip-translate] and are skipped outright.
`manual_translation: true` means "hands off", on both sides:
* on an authored source — do not generate siblings for this post at all;
* on a generated sibling — never overwrite it again.
Failure behaviour: any translation error exits non-zero, the pipeline goes red,
and nothing partial is committed — no half-translated sets.
