#6843: language preferences for EIT data selection are not set for the backend

 My DVB-C cable channel sends EIT descriptions in multiple languages.
 MythTV supports using language preferences to pick the suitable language
 variant for the program guide. In general, this works fine.

 However, when the backend resides on a separate computer from the
 frontend, there is a problem. The language preferences are set by the
 mythtv frontend UI, and only for the frontend hostname. There seems to be
 no supported way of setting the language preferences for the backend - the
 ones that determine which language to use for the EIT when generating
 program data.

 Adding ISO639Language0 and ISO639Language1 for the backend hostname in the
 settings table fixes the issue.

 (Location in code: Language preferences are used in EITScanner, which uses
 iso639_get_language_list, which simply does gContext->GetSetting. Verified
 to be so in trunk.)
