Hide "New to translate.wordpress.org?" message permanently

[SergeyBiryukov]

Each time I go to ​https://translate.wordpress.org/projects, I see a box at the top:

New to translate.wordpress.org? Have a look at the ​Getting Started guide.

I click "Hide", but it reappears after a few days or so. There should be a way to hide it permanently.

If you're logged in, then clicking Hide should set meta for you to hide it permanently. Whether you're logged in or not, it should set a 30 day cookie to make it hide for you as well.

I've just clicked Hide while logged in and confirmed that wporg-help-hide-notice cookie is there.

However, once I remove the cookie, the box reappears, so apparently the meta is not set.

Tracked down the issue to ​https://glotpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/gp-includes/things/user.php#L135 where $this->id is null. Still looking for the cause.

In 1125:

GlotPress Help Page Plugin: Call GP::$user->current() before reading/saving meta.

see #738.

In 1126:

GlotPress Help Page Plugin: Use underscores instead of dashes for the meta key. BackPress doesn't support dashes.

fixes #738.
