feat: add language picker to logged-in footer and editor settings

- Rewrites LanguagePicker to use availableLanguages from ol-footer meta
  instead of subdomainLang (which is always empty in single-domain setup)
- Passes availableLanguages through layout-react.pug → ol-footer meta so
  React footer picks it up
- Adds InterfaceLanguageSetting component to the editor settings modal
  ("Spelling and language" tab) for use when no footer is present
- Adds interface_language key to all five locale files (en/fr/de/es/it)
