cmake: Exclude generated sources from translation #31899

   This PR fixes an error encountered when building the translate target:

   $ gmake -j $(nproc) -C depends MULTIPROCESS=1
   $ cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" --preset dev-mode --toolchain depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/toolchain.cmake -DWITH_USDT=OFF
   $ cmake --build build_dev_mode -t translate
   gmake[3]: *** No rule to make target 'src/test/ipc_test.capnp.c++', needed by 'src/qt/CMakeFiles/translate'. Stop.
   gmake[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:1646: src/qt/CMakeFiles/translate.dir/all] Error 2
   gmake[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:1653: src/qt/CMakeFiles/translate.dir/rule] Error 2
   gmake: *** [Makefile:699: translate] Error 2
   

   The previous attempt to address this issue worked only with Ninja generators and has been reverted.

   Essentially, this PR modifies the translate target so that it ignores generated sources rather than attempting to update them.

   At present, multiprocess-specific sources do not contain any translatable strings. Nonetheless, it is prudent to maintain a general approach.

3. Revert "cmake: Ensure generated sources are up to date for `translate` target"

   This reverts commit 864386a7444fb5cf16613956ce8bf335f51b67d5.
