5. contrib: fix using macdploy script without translations.

   QT translations are optional, but the script would error when
   'translations_dir' falls back to its default value NULL.
   
   This PR fixes it by moving the set-up of QT translations under
   the check for 'translations_dir' presence.

   ACK https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/33534/commits/513cef75ee06bc5d310a22d366a5f3c815aa1499

   I compared this to other PR’s (#32766) of the “finalize format”, and this has the two finalizing chagnes:

   • this bumps the build version in the 29.x branch
   • updates the versions in the manpages.

   I compared the backport commit https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/33534/commits/6b3c1dbc5c0df4357ee7f57ac238bcdff55526af to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/33482/commits/7b5261f7ef3d88361204c40eb10c0d9dc44f5ed7 from #33482.

    lgtm 513cef75ee06bc5d310a22d366a5f3c815aa1499. Got the same manpages, no changes to examples/bitcoin.conf or bips.md.

    I think the release notes need to be updated
