sh/tex: Language-title: dispute on Macedonian / Language of FYROM (ISO 639-3: mkd) #42

Citation of Markus N.:

Apparently the name of the language „Macedonian“ is limiting in some circles. One might regard this as not the highest priority to discuss with many thousand refugees arriving without food or shelter or any means of communication. As a pragmatic solution however, from now on we change all mention of „Macedonian“ to "Language of FYROM“, to enable wider distribution.

The scripts need to catch up with this issue doing some localization: Setting Titles using iso-639-3 the code mkd must be mapped
