class LanguageSwitcherBlock in Open Social 8.9

Provides a 'LanguageSwitcherBlock' block.

This replaces the Drupal core language switcher block because that block breaks with the SocialLanguageMetadataBubblingUrlGenerator which is needed to keep users within the same language when viewing content (such as posts) in a language other than their current.

It also customises the look to match that of the Open Social menubar.

Plugin annotation

@Block(
 id = "language_switcher_block",
 admin_label = @Translation("Language switcher block"),
)
