Review fusionauth.locale cookie to see if we can move this server side when used for the locale widget on a themed page

Description

When using the locale switcher on a themed page we drop a cookie to assist with localization. If the widget is removed from the page, and the locale= is appended to the URL we won't drop a cookie.

We also use this cookie in the admin UI, so if possible, we should review this design and see if there are technical reasons why we can't manage this all on the server side. Doing this would mean you could pre-select the locale using the URL query parameter, and not necessarily use the widget.

We just need to figure how to manage this setting along with any preferred locales in the admin app.
