rev 11941 handle exceptional case that be-x-old uses different site name to language code

be-x-old will now be listed in AWB as be-tarask and I can successfully log in to it.

As AWB caches the sites list, to pick up this change you need to remove the cache file named ObjectCache.xml. It is located in %LOCALAPPDATA%\AutoWikiBrowser (usually C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\AutoWikiBrowser on Windows 7). Or you wait up to a week for AWB to decide that the cache is old and redownload it itself. If you still see be-x-old in the AWB site list then you've not got the new cache.
