Turkish had wrong default plural setup

On #2499639-13: Use better labels for numeric fields when using a multiple plural forms language → and the following few comments, we were discussing the plural formulas in Drupal Core localization files for Turkish.

They are currently set up to say that Turkish has only 1 plural form, and these are also the defaults set up in l10n_pconfig_plural_formulas() [which is why I am currently putting this issue in this project].

However, if you look at:
http://localization-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/l10n/pluralforms.html
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Turkish/Plural
and other sources, you'll see that Turkish does have two forms for nouns (singular and plural like English). They use the singular form if the noun is preceded by a number, but there are two forms.

This means, I believe, that some formatPlural() calls would need to have two forms in Turkish -- theoretically at least, it is not necessary to have @count in the plural form string -- you could be using formatPlural() to format something that doesn't contain the count, and in this case you'd need two forms for Turkish.

So, I think this needs to be changed, but we should consult with the Turkish language community on localize.drupal.org to figure this out.
