Add language selection dropdown

[ignotus666]

Short description of changes Adds a language selection dropdown to the website. The website also detects what language the user's browser is in and initially displays itself in that language.

Scripts automating the addition of new languages have been updated to support adding the full language name + language code.

It also includes the changes from #988 and #990 so as to avoid conflicts between PRs and include all the changes here.

@gilgongo It just dawned on me that #988 was meant to be merged into release... We can either wait until 3.11 comes out (when next-release gets merged into release), or right after this PR gets merged, open another PR against release with those changes. I can do that as there is other stuff that needs to go into release to enable the automated language addition to work.

Could you squash the commits down to a single commit, please.

If it needs to wait for other PRs, please put this one into draft.

@ignotus666 I'm fine with waiting if that's simpler.. but is it?

We've two tagged bugs - gut feel is they should go in before this.

[ignotus666]

977 and #986 are included in this PR - they can be closed.

@gilgongo after this is merged, the stuff that's for release doesn't necessarily have to wait. In fact it might be better as if by chance someone wants to add a language it won't work otherwise.

@pljones yes, I'll squash all those commits when I get a chance.

I've been doing some tests and there are going to be conflicts between this and the Weblate PR.

It's caused by the changes to the po folder names and the changed language codes in the po files. I think it might be best to leave those changes for after the Weblate PR and this one are merged. Mainly to make sure the pending translations get in. If there are conflicts at a later stage for any reason Weblate can be force-reset to whatever state next-release is in - but the translations will be already there.

@gilgongo I don't know how you replaced those codes within the files, by hand or with a recursive find/replace, but on Weblate, if you change that string (e.g. "pt_PT" -> "pt-PT") in one file in a given language, that change will propagate to all other files in that language.

So anyway, I'm going to revert those lang code changes for now (it only affects the po folders and files), and wait until the Weblate PR and this one have been merged before making that change.

[ignotus666]

The check fails because some config files have the lang code changed while the po files/folders don't. This is to be expected.

@pljones I'm having a hard time squashing all these commits; I think it's because many of them originate from other repos/branches... I'm going to open a new, clean PR.
