Populate `Ref.language_note`

[xrotwang]

Previously, Ref.language_note was filled with the content of the lgcode field of a BibTeX record. This isn't done so far for the new DB initialization. If we reinstitute it, though, we may want to cleanup/polish the format of these field - @d97hah possibly even allow markdown?

Sure

@d97hah Does that mean you'd actually use this feature - i.e. make the comments more extensive? Other than the conversion before rendering on the web, there would also be another price for this more expressive syntax: the markdown link syntax [label](url) could possibly conflict with the syntax for language identifiers [abc]. So if we'd change to allowing markdown, I'd say we also switch the language identifiers to glottocodes to make them less ambiguous.

No I wouldn't use markdown myself (don't know how I would need it). label is syntactically distinguishable from [abc] I think, in that sq brackets denote [abc] unless immediately followed by (.
