Adding language presence by territory to langdb

A very simple mechanism for importing per-country language lists
from CLDR to ULS' langdb.

If I understand correctly, we only need languages spoken in a country
ordered by number of speakers. The CLDR data already has it and it should be
mostly useful.

Also added a utility function and a test.

Some tweaks to override the CLDR data are still needed:

* The data as it is omits some useful languages. For example, Amharic is not
  listed in Eritrea.
* Some countries have a very large number of languages. Ideally it's right,
  but is not practical currently, for example India with 75. Maybe
  hand-picking or limiting the choice to top X languages can be useful,
  but requires thought.
* Some language codes are standard, but different from Wikipedia practice,
  for example "pa_Guru" (we just write "pa"). Maybe a mapping of codes
  is needed.
