/**
Returns a pointer to an allocated buffer that contains the best matching language
from a set of supported languages.
This function supports both ISO 639-2 and RFC 4646 language codes, but language
code types may not be mixed in a single call to this function. The language
code returned is allocated using AllocatePool(). The caller is responsible for
freeing the allocated buffer using FreePool(). This function supports a variable
argument list that allows the caller to pass in a prioritized list of language
codes to test against all the language codes in SupportedLanguages.
If SupportedLanguages is NULL, then ASSERT().
@param[in] SupportedLanguages A pointer to a Null-terminated ASCII string that
contains a set of language codes in the format
specified by Iso639Language.
@param[in] Iso639Language If TRUE, then all language codes are assumed to be
in ISO 639-2 format. If FALSE, then all language
codes are assumed to be in RFC 4646 language format
@param[in] ... A variable argument list that contains pointers to
Null-terminated ASCII strings that contain one or more
language codes in the format specified by Iso639Language.
The first language code from each of these language
code lists is used to determine if it is an exact or
close match to any of the language codes in
SupportedLanguages. Close matches only apply to RFC 4646
language codes, and the matching algorithm from RFC 4647
is used to determine if a close match is present. If
an exact or close match is found, then the matching
language code from SupportedLanguages is returned. If
no matches are found, then the next variable argument
parameter is evaluated. The variable argument list
is terminated by a NULL.
@retval NULL The best matching language could not be found in SupportedLanguages.
@retval NULL There are not enough resources available to return the best matching
language.
@retval Other A pointer to a Null-terminated ASCII string that is the best matching
language in SupportedLanguages.
