Ignore elements with `translate=no` attribute #401

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/translate

I can make elements with this attribute skip into the skip-element function, which is used for ignoring <code> etc. But that might mess up sentences, as this attribute can also apply to named entities. Those would, when the skip-element trick is used, completely disappear from the sentence when it is submitted to the translator, which might not like missing words (or names).

Yeah in general the MT system would need to be trained with a placeholder to do this correctly.
