[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Language switcher on the homepage (#1115)

[AntMadeira]

Hi there.
The current problem with languages on the OSM website is this:

As you can see, there's no way of knowing which languages exist. 
If a dropdown is technically difficult, how about creating a link or icon with a pop up message listing the available language abbreviations?
For example: two years ago, when I registered, I chose "pt" as the logical abbreviation to use in my account, but found out that, for some reason, there were Portuguese and English strings mixed all over the place. A few weeks ago, I discovered by trial and error, that I should have used "pt-pt", since I use European Portuguese.
I think this is important for newcomers and newbies, and it would improve greatly their experience with OSM website.

Regards.
