[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Allow localized & country-specific banners (PR #6851)

I would need some *extremely* strong persuasion to base anything like this on preferred language (whether that's from the browser headers or via the user preferences). 

The concept of mixing up preferred language and country-specific functionality is frustrating for anyone who speaks something other than the country-dominant language (ask me how I know). This muddle is common in many parts of the Internet and I don't want to see that happening here.

For example, let's imagine a native German speaker, who also speaks Italian, is resident in Italy and is a taxpayer and wants to support their local chapter. They should see the banner.

I would much rather show the banner about the local chapter to everyone in Italy, rather than exclude everyone who lives in Italy but speaks a different language. The local chapter is for everyone who lives in the country, not just for speakers of a particular language.
