[bug#63720] [PATCH] website: List languages in two columns.

["pelzflorian (Florian Pelz)" <pelzflorian@pelzflorian.de>]

* website/apps/base/templates/components.scm (navbar): Specify a CSS
class for the languages dropdown list.
* website/static/base/css/navbar.css (languages-dropdown-list): New
rule.

The translations dropdown is too long and high.  It seems to me
adjusting the number of columns dynamically and limiting the height is
not possible, unless we rewrite dropdowns to use CSS flexbox in <div>
elements instead of lists.  Instead, this patch sets a fixed column
number of two, which should be appropriate for the foreseeable future.

Also, there is only one languages dropdown, so this patch could
specify an id and not a new class for the languages dropdown.  But a
class works too and works always, so using a class seems better (?).
