mediawiki: Make retrieving list of supported languages robust

- Invoke PHP command to retrieve the list instead of parsing PHP file. This
fixes issue with regex not being generic enough to retrieve languages list using
double quotes. Also make is much more robust to future formatting changes.

- If there is an error in retrieving, which may happen due to future code
changes, fall back to showing a safe list of languages instead of making the app
unusable.
