If option lang is a valid locale, then it will be used to change locale as well as language. If it is not a valid locale, then the user's default locale will be used. For example, if lang=de_DE.utf8, then the German locale will be used. This allows locales to be set on a report-by-report basis. Addresses issue #867.
Allow country codes to be used in addition to a language code. For example, zh_CN would specify Chinese language, mainland China (Simplified Chinese), while zh_TW would specify Chinese language, Taiwan (Traditional Chinese).
