Previously we used the `.ini` files for every language, but for European languages these tend to provide inferior results to the `.ldf` files used by classic Babel. Currently Babel documentation recommends using the classic system for European languages written in Latin and Cyrillic scripts and Vietnamese. So the LaTeX writer and template now follow this guidance. Main languages in the list of languages with good "classic" support are added to global documentclass options and will be automatically handled by Babel using the `.ldf` files. If the main language is not in this list, the `babeloptions` variable will be set to `provide=*`, which will cause support to be loaded from the `.ini` file rather than an `.ldf`. So, for example, setting `-V babeloptions=''` with a polytonic Greek document will cause the `.ldf` support to be used instead of the `.ini`. The default setting of this variable can be overwritten, but in most cases the default should give good results. Closes #8283.
