Avoid using HTML tags in translation strings (wp-includes/comment-template.php)

See the attached patch.

This is a bit tricky.

The original translation string is: <a href="%1$s" aria-label="Logged in as %2$s. Edit your profile.">Logged in as %2$s</a>. <a href="%3$s">Log out?</a>

---

The ticket goal to to create three separate translation strings without the HTML tags:

1. Logged in as %s. Edit your profile.

2. Logged in as %s.

3. Log out?

---

The initial patch is splitting the long string only into two translation strings, and removes the HTML <a> tag only from the second string.

The two new strings are:

1. <a href="%1$s" aria-label="Logged in as %2$s. Edit your profile.">Logged in as %2$s</a>.

2. Log out?

Ok, It's done!

Old string:

• <a href="%1$s" aria-label="Logged in as %2$s. Edit your profile.">Logged in as %2$s</a>. <a href="%3$s">Log out?</a>

New strings:

• Logged in as %s. Edit your profile.
• Logged in as %s
• Log out?

No HTML tags, much easier to translate.

__( '%s.' ) feels wrong, especially without a translator comment. Can we get rid of that somehow?
