Title: Replace combobox with palettes on Language cpsection

The Language-selection combobox does not work properly with touch and
the long list of language and country-variants is almost impossible to
use.

This patch does two things:
(1) separates language selection from country selection, thus making
the language list less unwieldy; and
(2) replaces the combobox with a palette of menus.

The design has been discussed and reviewed [1, 2].
