Subject: Make the default language of the Live ISO configurable

Added a new parameter to 'make_slackware_live.sh' script:
  -l <localization>
For example, create a liveslak ISO with dutch as the default language
instead of US english:
  # ./make_slackware_live.sh -l nl

Using this parameter you can onfigure a different default language
for the resulting ISO image. The default localization if you do not
supply this parameter remains "us" as before.
The boot menu offers a selection of other languages/localizations
to pick from (currently you can select any of 'be br da gb de de_ch es
fr fr_ch it ja nl pt ru se us') but now you can create your own brand
of liveslak ISO with your own language as the default.
