Bug 9735 - Let the language be selected through URL parameters

Passing language=<valid_language_code> as a parameter in any Koha's URL can be
used to set the desired language.
This patch touches
 - C4::Templates
 - C4::Auth

Adds a new method getlanguagecookie that does exactly that, for use in
get_template_and_user.
Also modifies getlanguage so it checks (a) if there's a 'language' parameter in
the CGI object and (b) checks if its valid and enabled for the desired
interface.

To test:
* Without the patch
  - access any koha page
  - add ?language=code to the end of the URL (change code for a valid language
code
    it needs to be installed using perl translate install code, and enabled
either for
    the staff or opac interface, depending where are you testing)
  - Nothing happens with the language parameter
* With the patch
  - access any koha page
  - add ?language=code (the same as before) and hit enter
  - the language should be changed to the one you chose
  - if you browse through some links, you will see
    koha 'remembers' the language you passed as a parameter
    (i.e. the language cookie has been updated).
