+meson: don't override GETTEXTDATADIRS for the policy file
+
+The translatable strings of a polkit policy file are described by ITS
+rules that polkit installs as gettext data, so msgfmt only finds them
+when GETTEXTDATADIRS points at the directory holding polkit.its. In a
+cross build that directory lives in the target sysroot, and
+gettext.bbclass exports GETTEXTDATADIRS accordingly.
+
+meson passes the data_dirs argument of i18n.merge_file() to its
+msgfmthelper script, which replaces GETTEXTDATADIRS instead of
+extending it. cups-pk-helper ships no ITS rules of its own, so the
+argument only serves to hide polkit.its from msgfmt and make the merge
+fail. Drop it and rely on the environment.
