Binding of MBApreq language + UserLanguageID to "currentCulture" instead of "currentUiCultureInfo"

[wixbot]

When testing a Bootstrapper on an W7 EN with installed language packs we figured out that UserLanguageID + the language in which the MBApreqInstaller occurs are set to "CurrentCulture" ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.globalization.cultureinfo.currentculture.aspx). So here the value / the shown MBAPrep UI language changes when changing the Format (Date and Time) but not the Display Language ("CurrentUICulture").

Normally CurrentUICulture = CurrentCulture but in our case not... IMHO binding to CurrentUICulture seems to make more sense here.

The MBApreq UI language selection was set already to CurrentUICulture in WiX 3.6 but seemed to change in the meanwhile...

Burn uses the user language (via GetUserDefaultLangID) and falls back to system language (via GetSystemDefaultUILanguage). This is the best way we came up with to continue to support XP and Server 2003. I'll open this bug in v3.x series to see if we can come up with a better way, perhaps using the loc support in Vista and later to better choose user language(s).

Release changed from v3.9 to v3.x

Doing a lot of binging, it appears that .Net sets CurrentCulture (possibly using GetUserDefaultLangID) and CurrentUICulture (possibly using GetSystemDefaultLangID, which is elsewhere described as "the
'Language for non-Unicode programs' option, not the localized language of
the installed OS."). The reason seems to be that the setting was a system-wide setting, then became a per-user setting later on, but the API's name wasn't changed to reflect that.

I believe I found the correct API to use: GetUserDefaultUILanguage (see http://web.archive.org/web/20130701052031/http://blogs.msdn.com/b/michkap/archive/2005/02/01/364707.aspx) which already does the fallback across system setting/install OS value.
