languages.py can change, so users may query on a language that is not
on the list anymore, even if it is still recognized by a few engines.
also made no and nb the same because they seem to return the same,
though most engines will only support one or the other.
Preferences class was introduced in order to handle user preferences. Right now
it parses cookies and the form in preferences. Also it can retrieve settings
based on the name of the setting.
ATTENTION
Please note that engine preferences are handled differently from now on. So it
introduces incompatible changes. Every user who has saved preferences should reset and
save his/her settings again.
This change was needed, because everytime a default disabled engine was
added saved user preferences would broke. Now engine setting tracking is
fixed.
