As seen requested here https://github.com/openzim/cms/pull/37#discussion_r759310873

Add is_valid_langcode() utility method to i18n.py, that returns a boolean on wether something is a valid language code or not

Support multiple language code like:
- ISO 639-1 (alpha2)
- ISO 639-2 (alpha3)

i18n.get_language_details with failsafe already serves this purpose.

We now have i18n.is_valid_iso_639_3 that we use. I'm in favor of having a is_valid_iso_639_2 as well as soon as the need arise.
