Proposed property: u-translation-of #26

Description

@nekr0z

A property to indicate that the h-entry is a translation of the linked text into another language. Can be used in the same way as the existing u-like-of and u-repost-of properties, that is, either contain the URL which the h-entry is the translation of, or (optionally) contain and embedded h-cite.

Can be useful to inform the original source (via a webmention) of the existence of the translation, providing a way for the original source to enumerate translations automatically.

Example in the wild: the Russian translation of the original article contains the following markup inside the h-entry (irrelevant classes/tags omitted, human-readable text translated into English for clarity):

    <span class="h-cite u-translation-of">
      this is a translation of the article
      "
      <a class="u-url"
         href="https://seirdy.one/2021/01/27/whatsapp-and-the-domestication-of-users.html">
           WhatsApp and the Domestication of Users
      </a>
      ",
      author of the original text is
      <span class="h-card p-author">
        <a class="u-url" href="https://seirdy.one">
          <span class="p-name">
            Rohan Kumar
          </span>
        </a>
      </span>
    </span>
