feat: implement responsive mobile language selector

Mobile UX Improvements:
- Replace dropdown with icon-only flags on mobile (< 768px)
- Add 44x44px touch targets for better mobile interaction
- Add language selector to mobile menu drawer
- Desktop keeps full dropdown with language names (≥ 768px)

Language Selector Features:
- Mobile navbar: Icon-only buttons (🇬🇧 🇩🇪 🇫🇷)
- Desktop navbar: Dropdown with full text
- Mobile drawer: Full language list with checkmarks
- Active state: Blue ring around selected language
- Auto-close drawer after language selection

Accessibility:
- ARIA labels on all buttons
- aria-pressed state for current language
- Minimum 44x44px touch targets (WCAG AA)
- Keyboard navigation support maintained
- Screen reader support with role="group"

Technical Changes:
- language-selector.js: Rewritten with responsive versions
- navbar.js: Added mobile-menu-language-selector container
- i18n-simple.js: Added languageChanged event dispatch

UX Benefits:
- Space savings: ~87px saved in mobile navbar
- No crowding between language selector and hamburger menu
- Flag emojis are universally recognizable
- Touch-friendly buttons meet iOS/Android standards
