snippets_translate: Streamline writing files

The code created all example directories first and extracted the
snippets to .cpp files which were later moved to .py files to
overwrite the snippets in the repository (back then).

Write to the Python file directly and create the directory only when
needed. This removes a lot of empty directories.
