"Persian" is duplicated in 041 #1429

It seems that we have two language codes that are showing up as Persian in English in Sources (041 $a, $e, and $h), fas and per. image

According to the MARC21 language codes (https://www.loc.gov/marc/languages/language_name.html), for Farsi we should use Persian. I don't see a reference to fas on the language code list. I wonder if we are mixing ISO codes and MARC codes? (We use MARC codes here, correct?)

(There were 2 records with per and 2 with fas; 3 now have per and 1 was an error.)

To be compliant with MARC codes, fas will be removed.
