Description

Inspired by termbox ([inlanguage.ts](https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/wikibase/termbox/+/master/src/client/directives/inlanguage.ts)), but gets the direction from $.uls.data.getDir(), not from the store.
Additionally, language codes need to be mapped to their bcp47-compatible equivalents - this knowledge was only recently (re)gained in T231476: Termbox (v2) does not map nonstandard language codes to standard ones for HTML/T231475

NOTE: This implies a hard dependency of Data Bridge on ULS. In Wikimedia production, all Wikibase Client wikis also use ULS, but we should document this dependency somewhere.

Notes

mediaWiki.language.bcp47() seems to be an option for language code mapping in client implementations
