metadata.xml

When metadata.xml for a given package contains multiple languages, and a language other than the system's default is first, equery prefers the first-listed language in metadata.xml rather than one based on LANG.

This was reported with sys-boot/refind which has FR USE descriptions first, followed by EN, but `equery uses refind` was printing FR descriptions on EN systems.

Example:

> $ LANG=en_US equery uses refind
> [ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
> [        : I - package is installed with flag     ]
> [ Colors : set, unset                             ]
>  * Found these USE flags for sys-boot/refind-0.10.7:
>  U I
>  + + btrfs         : Construire le gestionnaire EFI pour le système de fichier btrfs
>  - - custom-cflags : Build with user-specified CFLAGS (unsupported)
>  - - doc           : Add extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc). It is recommended to enable per package instead of globally
>  + - ext2          : Construire le gestionnaire EFI pour le système de fichier ext2
>  + - ext4          : Construire le gestionnaire EFI pour le système de fichier ext4

Sample metadata.xml attached - I will be updating it in-tree as a workaround.
