Module entry point

Crude documentation tool that returns one of several lists of language codes and names.

Used in Template:Citation Style documentation/language/doc

{{#invoke:cs1 documentation support|lang_lister|list=<selector>|lang=<code>}}

where <selector> is one of the values:
	2char – list of ISO 639-1 codes and names sorted by code
	3char – list of ISO 639-2, -3 codes and names sorted by code
	ietf – list of IETF language tags and names sorted by tag
	ietf2 – list of ISO 639-1 based IETF language tags and names sorted by tag
	ietf3 – list of list of ISO 639-2, -3 based IETF language tags and names sorted by tag
	name – list of language names and codes sorted by name
	all - list all language codes/tags and names sorted by code/tag

where <code> is a MediaWiki supported 2, 3, or ietf-like language code; because of fall-back, language names may
be the English-language names.

returns first (canonical) name when metaparameter is assigned a table of names
returns name when metaparameter is assigned a single name
returns empty string when metaparameter name not found in alias_src{}, id_src{}, or id_src[meta].custom_access

metaparameter <metaparam> is the key in Module:Citation/CS1 aliases{} table or id_handlers{} table.  Because access-icon
don't have <metaparam> keys, per se, we create pseudo <metaparam> keys by appending 'access' to the identifier <metaparam>:
	the <metaparam> for |doi-access= is, for the purposes of this function, DOIaccess, etc

Some lists of aliases might be better served when a particular alias is identified as the canonical alias for a 
particular use case.  If, for example, <metaparam> Perodical lists:
	'journal', 'magazine', 'newspaper', 'periodical', 'website', 'work'
that order works fine for {{cite journal}} documentation but doesn't work so well for {{cite magazine}}, {{cite news}},
or {{cite web}}.  So, for using this function to document {{cite magazine}} the returned value should be the
parameter best suited for that template so we can specify magazine in the override (frame.args[2])

While for this function, it would be just as simple to not use the function, this mechanism is implemented here 
to match similar functionality in alias_names_get() (there are slight differences)
	<override> must exist in the alias list
	does not apply to the access icon parameters (ignored - these have no aliases)

(and which would be best for {{cite news}}? |newspaper= or |work=? can't solve all of the worlds problems at once).

output format is controlled by |format=
	plain - renders in plain text in a <span> tag; may have id attribute
