Setup API Endpoint for All Language Data #17

Story

As a developer I want to be able to query an API to get information about specific languages.

Notes

In addition to the large langnames.json file we need to provide dynamic API access to all the language information. Possible implementation ideas:

AWS S3 bucket fronted by an AWS API that directs the requests to the correct snippet. For instance, querying /en/ could return a JSON object that contains all the information that tD has on English. Data would be pre-chunked and written to the correct paths in an S3 bucket.
AWS Lambda function that parses the data and returns requested information. Data could be stored as a monolithic json file, as individual json files, in DynamoDB or in an RDS.
