Automatic language → keyboard selection is broken when selecting some languages

  • As discovered on #16838 (closed) and #15161 (closed), selecting Arabic language leads to an English (US) keyboard being selected.
    • As discovered on #12547-note_5, selecting some languages (lang codes: ayc, bhb, brx, cmn, hak, hne, lij, lzh, mhr, nan, nhn, quz, sgs, shs, tcy, the, unm, wae, yue) confuses the algorithm, triggers an exception (invisibly to the user), so English (US) layout is picked by default, and then:
      • one can still choose their preferred keyboard layout by hand, and it’ll be applied as expected;
      • if one selects another language/region, then the previously set keyboard layout is not updated accordingly.
