 This is a follow up of #8821

 Create a "sanitization" function wrapping sprintf() to make sure expected
 placeholders are found into the translated strings.

 Although we think this kind of function should be made available by
 WordPress, in [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/55776#comment:3 this
 ticket] the issue was diagnosed as invalid. It's probably ok when you have
 a lot of polyglots contributors like WordPress has, **it's a different
 situation for plugins**: let's prevent these potential fatals in 12.0
