During regular builds MSBuild initializes `Language` to the language of the currently building project, e.g. C#. However, when running some targets like `pack` this doesn't happen. Therefore GitVersion has to add a default value for `Language`. Unfortunately `Language` is also an environment variable that GNU gettext uses, so the `pack` target will fail on most Linux systems where that environment variable is set. This change implements a fix by additionally checking `DefaultLanguageSourceExtension` which gets set by MSBuild at the same time as `Language`. If that isn't set we can be pretty sure that `Language` didn't get set automatically by MSBuild and can set a default value. This will cause existing builds to break IF they rely on being able to explicitly set `Language` to a value different from C#. However, I don't think this is a scenario that happens very often, and it can be easily worked around by setting the `DefaultLanguageSourceExtension` property to a non-empty value. This fixes #2591.
