Changing language doesn't show previously selected language

[Robert Ancell]

[Impact]
Changing language in Settings doesn't show currently selected language.

[Test Case]
1. Open Settings
2. Go to "Region & Language" panel
3. Click on "Language"

Expected result:
The list of available languages shows the current language selected.

Observed result:
No languages are shown as selected.

This seems due to the 0010-set-language.patch in accountsservice. It means when Settings chooses a locale (e.g. en_US.UTF-8) this is changed to en_US in accountsservice. When Settings uses this to select the current language it doesn't match against any entry.

I think it was a simple typo when refreshing 52_region_language.patch. Patch attached. Fixes bug #1786881 too.

I couldn't figure out how to request a merge proposal, though.

I committed Gunnar's branch - hopefully that fixes the issue.

It'll be bundled with the next upload, unless we don't get a release for a while in which case we should upload it.
