Move "add language" action to inline table form item, like field UI

As part of #1260860: Rework language list admin user interface β†’ , we explored moving the add language operation inside the language list overview for ease of use / inline operation, just like on the field UI (or user role setup) screens. Because in the 80% of cases (if not more), users set up one of the predefined languages, all they'd need to do is to select a language from a dropdown and hit submit and get back to the same page with the language in there. Applying the pattern people got used to with fields UI + less operations to get it to work. Here is a screenshot from there from when we had a partially working patch. No patch here yet, since we need to drive #1260860: Rework language list admin user interface β†’ home first before we can do this. It touches the very same code.

  • Usability

    Makes Drupal easier to use. Preferred over UX, D7UX, etc.

  • D8MI

    (Drupal 8 Multilingual Initiative) is the tag used by the multilingual initiative to mark core issues (and some contributed module issues). For versions other than Drupal 8, use the i18n (Internationalization) tag on issues which involve or affect multilingual / multinational support. That is preferred over Translation.
