Support bidirectional text (ltr and rtl) [WIP]

[stefankoegl]

To support bidirectional text in the UI (as opposed to content such as podcast names or descriptions), we need to figure out the currently used language in the template (see docs).

{% get_current_language as LANGUAGE_CODE %}

For some (currently still unknown reasons), this always returns en when in the context of the template. In the view (eg wtih django.utils.translation.get_language) the correct language is returned.

I have asked on Stack Overflow about this issue (https://stackoverflow.com/q/51641412/693140), but have not been able to figure it out.

Once this is fixed we can create a rtl-stylesheet that is conditional on the language.
