+Collect subunit output from translation jobs

+This role collects only the testrepository.subunit file which has
+already been compressed. The common_translation_update.sh script
+uses generate-subunit to create a subunit file containing success or
+failure, thus :zuul:role:`fetch-subunit-output` is not appropriate.
