Move "Site Language" setting above "Timezone"

[johnjamesjacoby]

The "Site Language" setting is currently last in the "General Settings" page. It's also underneath do_settings_fields('general', 'default') which pretty much guarantees it will be last, even after plugins that insert settings having nothing to do with site locale.

I think it's more important than that, especially to non-English speakers that need this setting, to both prioritize it, and keep it snugged up against the other locale specific site settings.

To my eyes, it makes the most sense to move this above "Timezone" so the language can be set as early as possible. An argument against this is that it's not something that changes frequently (and the site owner theoretically had the chance to set this during site creation) so putting it higher up may seem odd, but having it below who-knows-what plugins might do also seems not ideal.

Screenshots and a recommended patch imminent.

I18N: Move "Site Language" setting above "Timezone".

This brings all locale-specific site settings closer together and prevents the language setting from being pushed down by unrelated settings added by plugins.

Props johnjamesjacoby.
Fixes #38562.
