[Systems] Migrating Pootle from Justice to Bender

[Bernie Innocenti]

Since the old VM was called "newpootle", I thought the next one could go 
back to being called just "pootle". Here are the new DNS records:

   pootle           A             192.184.220.215          ; ibiam
   pootle           AAAA          2001:5a8:601:f::215      ; ibiam

Also added this CNAME to test the service:

   translate-devel  CNAME         pootle                   ; ibiam

Cheers,
Bernie.
