[SIGNED-OFF] Bug 16776 - If language is set by external link language switcher
does not work

To reproduce:

- Have a multilingual koha installation, let's say en, de-CH, fr-FR and
  it-IT
- Create external links e.g. from your multilingual library website to
  each language variant of OPAC:

...cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl?language=en
...cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl?language=de-CH
...cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl?language=fr-FR
...cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl?language=it-IT

Each link opens fine displaying the language as appropriate.

Now try to switch language on the page you just opened via the external
link.

It won't work, it will always stay on the language defined by the
external link.

To test:
- Apply patch
- Repeat steps above
- Verify that the language switcher works
- Verify in browser address field that after switching language, the
  param 'language= 'has vanished from url string
- Try links with multiple params and with params containing 'language', e.g.
  ...cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?language=fr-FR&q=language&mylanguage=test
- Verify that only the parameter 'language=' vanishes
