The reading time and likes values in twitter card meta tags were hard-coded Engl…ish strings ("X mins 🕑" and "X ❤"). This made them impossible to translate on Crowdin and also caused incorrect pluralization ("1 mins" instead of "1 min"). Replace the hard-coded strings with I18n.t calls using new `reading_time_minutes` and `likes_count` translation keys with proper `one`/`other` pluralization. https://meta.discourse.org/t/400164
