Update message that displays when configuration translation is saved without changes

Problem/Motivation

If you add and save a configuration translation without modifying anything, the success message indicates the changes were saved, which may be confusing since nothing is actually added. The translation is not added unless you modify something.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install Drupal
  2. Enable Language and Configuration Translation
  3. Add a language that does not come with configuration translation (e.g. Tuvan)
  4. Go to /admin/structure/menu/manage/main/translate
  5. Click Add for Tuvan
  6. Save without making any changes
  7. Message says 'Successfully saved Tuvan translation.' but the translation is not saved because nothing was changed (he button still says Add)
  8. Click Add again
  9. Make a change and save
  10. Same message but now the translation is saved, and the button shows Edit

Proposed resolution

If the translation is not modified and therefore not added, show a different message:
@language translation was not added. To add a translation, you must modify the configuration.

Remaining tasks

  1. Agree on proposed approach
  2. Write patch with tests
  3. Review

    Sorry to reopen this but I find this wording very confusing: To add a translation, you must modify the configuration. Which configuration ? I had to check all kind of settings/configurations, in structure (content type, content type field), in settings (region and languages, content language and translation, configuration translation), in module settings (I faced this problem while translating meta settings with metatag module) etc., before I realize that I just had to change something in a field of the present form!

    So I suggest to change this message to To add a translation, you must modify at least a field on this form.
