I opened this PR mostly for discussion purposes. Don't merge it (yet).

This PR adds a language picker to the Header component and all other stuff needed to make that work. See the commit message, actual code (it's not that much) and the text in Chapter 9 of the book (will upload tonight, still working on it).

However, maybe it's better not to actually merge it and just leave it in it's own branch since it's a 'Next Step for a PWA' topic. Then again the language selection is kinda cool to showcase.... So I wonder about your opinions. What do you think?

Second is of course the code itself. Please let me know if something should change or maybe you have questions.

Last: I added Dutch (my own language) and German as I know it well enough. Maybe you guys want to add a language as well? Or would that be too much? Let me know!

I think this should be a class component instead of splitting it out into an SFC + listener handler method.

Maybe it's good to keep this as a separate branch.
