        Bug 473805 – Add API enumerating scripts for a language

        * docs/Makefile.am:
        * docs/pango-sections.txt:
        * docs/tmpl/scripts.sgml:
        * docs/tmpl/text-attributes.sgml:
        * docs/tmpl/utils.sgml:
        * pango/pango-language.c (pango_language_get_scripts),
        (pango_language_includes_script),
        (pango_script_get_sample_language):
        * pango/pango-language.h:
        * pango/pango-script.c:
        * pango/pango.def:
        Add a minor new public API:

                pango_language_get_scripts()

        This is what pango_language_includes_script() has been using
        internally.  Previously one had to call that function over all
        possible script values to determine which scripts a language
        uses.  The new API makes that much easier.

  *
- * This routine is used in Pango's itemization process when

- * applications in most circumstances.
+ * The value @num_script points at will be set to the number

+ * Most languages use only one script for writing, but there are
+ * some that use two (Latin and Cyrillic for example), and a few
+ * use three (Japanese for example).  Applications should not make
+ * any assumptions on the maximum number of scripts returned
+ * though, except that it is a small number.
+ *
+ * The pango_language_includes_script() uses this function
+ * internally.
+ *
+ * Return value: An array of #PangoScript values, with the
+ * number of entries in the array stored in @num_scripts, or
+ * %NULL if Pango does not have any information about this
+ * particular language tag (also the case if @language is %NULL).
+ * The returned array is owned by Pango and should not be modified
