There are some more strings that need plurals, namely the "X
minutes/hours/days ago" strings in the main window. The file containing
these is missing from POTFILES.in too. Proposed branch fixes all of
this. I also changed the time limit of the "a few seconds ago" string,
because IMHO between 30 and 60 seconds, the "0 minutes ago" string would
look funny. Before, this case was considered "1 minute ago", I hope this
is not a problem.

Title:
  Untranslatable strings

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Triaged
Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In ../libgwibber-gtk/stream-view-tile.vala:658:

  "person liked this"

  In ../libgwibber-gtk/stream-view-tile.vala:662:

  "people liked this"

  These strings are untranslatable in many languages, as the number is
  missing from the sentence, and they cannot be translated in a correct
  or understandable way, as the number would need to be rearranged
  within the sentence.

  In general, it's always a bad idea to split sentences, which in most
  cases results in missing context or untranslatable strings.
