[Bug 991002] [NEW] Use the modern English name Bangla instead of Bengali for the language code bn

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj):

The official name for the state language for Bangladesh is Bangla, as
detailed on section 3, part 1 of the Bangladesh constitution
(http://www1.umn.edu/humanrts/research/bangladesh-constitution.pdf).
However, language selector continues to refer to this language as
Bengali (Bangladeh). While Bengali has been historically used as the
english name for the language during colonial periods, the name 'Bangla'
is more widely used nowadays. It is also the name with which native
speakers identify the language.

This package uses Bengali(Bangladesh) as the identifier for language
code bn-BD. Please change the name to Bangla(Bangladesh).
