Docs: Change translation example from NS to PS (#15476)

Browse Source 
The currently established convention uses `NS` for "translation no-ops", i.e., it will be collected by a string-collecting utility but not be translated by Luanti at this place.

We don't want to mislead modders with this example into using `NS` for plural forms instead, breaking with the established convention and making use of automated tools harder.

It is intended to be used in the following way, so that it avoids verbose
repetitions of `core.translate`:
