Rerolled patch to 10.2.x

This patch only works with the following conditions:

1. You set your content language the same as your Interface language. So, you have to translate both the admin interface and the content. If your users have a different language for the admin interface, this patch doesn't work for them.

2. If a content type does not have translation enabled, this patch does not work and it should. Even if a node is not translatable, it still has a valid path in each language and that path should be used to prevent an untranslated node from switching a user's chosen language.

Here's a patch of the latest work in the MR

Patch based on latest MR version against Drupal 11.1.7. The MR still needs to be targeted to 11.x.

The patch in #57 🐛 The language of content entities incorrectly falls back to the default language of the content whilst ignoring the current language of the user Needs work had a copy/paste error. Re-rolling it with the fix.

Apparently the patch in #60 was practically empty. Created new patch to be applicable to D11.2.3.

I moved entity_test_entity_prepare_view() hook to entity_test_entity_view_alter() as it added $build array keys, but $build is not existing in this entity_test_entity_prepare_view() hook in the first place, so this never worked.

Removed entity_test_entity_view_alter()in favor of the also added entity_test_entity_display_build_alter().

Removed unused use statements in entity_test.module.
