Add option to move LanguageSelector to right Sidebar with default display of some interwikis
Open, LowPublicFeature

Description

Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where):
As you can see on the project talk page, many experienced editors are unhappy with the fact that now all interwikis are hidden and it takes a very long time to get to them.

I propose to create a separate setting that displays a certain number of interwikis in the right sidebar. This number can be adjusted, as well as which interwikis are displayed: by location, by the amount of text inside interwiki, or by the most frequent user transitions, or user's choise.

Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution):
Now all interwikis are hidden and to understand if there is an interwiki in the language you are interested in, you have to open the drop-down list. Most often, there are very few interwikis, and opening a drop-down list with one interwiki seems counterproductive.

Most often, the same interwikis are needed for work, and often they are needed in easy accessibility.

Benefits (why should this be implemented?):
Makes it easier for experienced editors to translate and edit articles.
