[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Use user language preferences for queries to Nominatim (Issue #6420)

[Sarah Hoffmann]

lonvia created an issue (openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website#6420)

### Problem

When searching for a place, the website currently forwards the language preferences from the browser to Nominatim, which then returns a result which is localised according to these preferences. This seems to confuse users when they have some rather exotic fallbacks in their preferences. I had [two](https://github.com/osm-search/Nominatim/issues/3845) [complaints](https://github.com/osm-search/Nominatim/issues/3843) about Japanese in results within a week.

### Description

When the user is logged in, then it would be more consistent to just send the configured language to Nominatim.

### Screenshots
