Make functions setup-LANGUAGE-environment

interactive and add new functions describe-LANGUAGE-support for
all LANGUAGEs supported.  Remove resisterations of input methods
which use the function encoded-kbd-select-terminal.
(pre-write-encode-hz): Make it work for the
case the arg FROM is a string.
(setup-chinese-cns-environemnt): Set default-input-method to
quail-quich-cns.
