Some of these strings (such as "Mandatory or optional arguments ..." or
"Report bugs to ...") come from argp-help.c and are arguments of a 'dgettext'
invocations. For these, you would include argp-help.c in the set of files
you specify to xgettext. Optionally, specify argp_domain
(cf. https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Argp-Parsers.html)
and use a separate .pot file for this (small) set of messages.

Some of the strings (such as "Give this help list") don't come from the
argp implementation; they must come from your code. To internationalize
them, use a gettext_noop-like macro as described in
https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Special-cases.html
