 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="41268"
 Role/Capability: Introduce capabilities dedicated to installing and
 updating language files.

 The new meta capabilities are called `install_languages` and
 `update_languages`. Prior to this change, there were no proper capability
 checks applied. Instead only the filesystem and related constants were
 checked, and for actual permissions a rather vague fallback was used where
 a user needed to have at least one of the other updating capabilities. In
 addition to being generally more verbose, the new capabilities make it
 possible for example to allow a user to update languages, but nothing
 else. By default they fall back to the original way of how they were
 handled.

 Props johnbillion, flixos90.
 Fixes #39677.
