[Localization] Bamana Abiword localization

[Dominique Rochefort]

Hi Chris,

You are right, the official language name is "Bamanankan", that's the 
name we should be using.

The plural forms are the exact same as Mandinka, that is :

Plural-Forms: nplurals=3; plural=n==0?0:n==1?1:2;

Thanks,

Dominique
