Add GENDER support for message "moodbar-log-hide" in MediaWiki's Moodbar extension

MediaWiki supports translation of messages to other languages. Some languages have gendered verbs, where the verb has two different versions between female and male speakers. We allow for those uses in translation through a special wrapper called {{GENDER:}}.

Read more about GENDER and PLURAL language in MediaWiki: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Messages_API#Notes_about_gender.2C_grammar.2C_plural

In this particular task, the string should allow for gendered verb "hid" (for current user gender)
