Add support for Upper and Lower Sorbian, aka Wendish #1994

Description

@alerque

Interesting feedback here typst/typst#3235 (comment) adding (lower) Sorbian and Croatian to the list, and confirming Czech and Slovak.

Sorbian is a minority language (< 50000 people), it doesn't have a 2-letter language codes. Unless mistaken the 3-letter codes are hsb (Upper Sorbian), dsb (Lower Sorbian) and wen (Sorbian or "Wendish" collectively)

While dealing with the explicit hyphen repetition handling I skipped Sorbian (which we now know can use that alternative code) because we don't have a language support file or hyphenation patterns for it at all. Since I'm guessing we can probably apply some other language's patters to it this shouldn't be too hard to add. Maybe after BCP-47?
