Fixed #21473 -- Limited language preservation to logout

Current language is no longer saved to session by LocaleMiddleware
on  every response (the behavior introduced in #14825).
Instead language stored in session is reintroduced into new session
after logout.

Forward port of c558a43fd6 to master.
