81e4730037 Simplify language lists
- SUPPORTED_SUB_LANGUAGE_CODES[] that I introduced was pretty redundant when SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES[] already hold the information. The logic to ignore sub-languages (i.e. reduce the locale's "en-GB" to "en" is now located in getDefaultLanguage()).

- SUPPORTED_BROWSER_LANGUAGES[] and SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES[] look so similar and hard to tell what the former is for at first glance. The functionality to map 'zh-CN' to 'zh-Hans' is now handled by resolveLanguageAlias(), which makes the intention clearer.

This leaves us with a single list -- SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES[], whose key also tells us the desired language code to use.
Also, clients now need to call `resolveLanguageAlias` to map any language code aliases, as they differ depending on how it is queried (e.g. `navigator.language` vs. `app.getLocal()` uses different standards).

I think we no longer need to explicitly migrate existing user's 'zh-CN' into 'zh-Hans' because the rest of the system will always use the desired language code as long as 'resolveLanguageAlias' is called appropriately. e.g. the system uses `selectLanguage` and `selectLanguage` calls `resolveLanguageAlias`.

ad0d96328b Add ability to support language subsets, with only CT and CS enabled for now.
CT - Chinese Traditional
CS - Chinese Simplified

Note that if English subsets like en-GB is enabled in the future, the default 'en' value used throughout the code (including in redux.git) needs to be changed to 'en-US'.
