Language setting

This pull request makes the language a setting.

The language switch now stores the current language in the settings. The tests were updated to this new behavior. There is a new watcher in the language switch button component which watches the language setting. The code to set the language is now in src/i18n.js,

To be able to configure settings dynamically, the settings configuration is now a JavaScript module instead of a JSON module.

The user's language is now loaded when mounting the root component as it needs the settings store.

The utility src/utils/currentLanguage.js is now in the I18n feature utilities directory. Its purpose has changed to only parse the navigator language. The tests were updated to this new behavior.

Closes #175

feature(settings)!: make settings configuration a JavaScript module 3dd9eded41

The settings configuration is now a JavaScript module because dynamic
configuration is only possible in this way and dynamic settings
configuration is needed for the language as a setting.
