Remove the 6000 character per page limit of mw.language:formatDate(). It
only exists because ParserFunctions has something like it for performance
reasons. Since Lua has a maximum execution time, there's no reason that it
needs this as well.

Various methods are throwing exceptions when passed invalid language
codes. Those need to be caught.
And we should really add unit tests for the mw.language library, too.
Doing so exposed another bug (in lang:gender), which is also fixed here.

Apparently this is useful on Commons, where they would like to iterate
over all language names in some of their templates.

Users seem to expect that mw.language's parseFormattedNumber will act
like tonumber when given nil or other non-string values, returning nil
instead of raising an error. There's no reason not to, so we may as
well.

This uses the timezone support added to core Language::sprintfDate in
Iea1f7842 to add support for various timezone-related formatting
characters, and to correct the output for 'c', 'r', and 'U' in local
mode.
This is related to bug 33454, which requests the same for
ParserFunctions' {{#timel:}}.

Added a language library. Introduced functions which are easy and safe,
most of them already have parser function interfaces.
