Add "Auto-detected" as a language.

When the user choose "Auto-detected", the choice remains on the following queries.
The detected language is displayed.

For example "Auto-detected (en)":
* the next query language is going to be auto detected
* for the current query, the detected language is English.

This replace the autodetect_search_language plugin.
