Default to Chrome's current UI language if a webpage doesn't have a language specified

Project Member Reported by nek...@chromium.org, May 4 2016 
In the accessibility API we expose the language as en-US if the document has no lang attribute. This is according to the IAccessible2 Spec. However, this can cause problems when authors don't specify a language but the user is not using an English text-to-speech synthesizer.
To work around this, we could default to Chrome's UI language.

We also do language detection, we could try to use the detected language. The language detection is very good, something like 98% accuracy
