Missing or mistyped 'language' parameter on /i18n/setlang/ raises a MultiValueDictKeyError

Description

Django provides a setlang/ url which calls django.views.i18n.set_language(). This view expects to find a language paremeter in request.GET, but when this parameter is missing (or was mistyped) an exception is raised; which will generate 500 Server Error pages in production sites.

Attached is a very simple patch. When the language parameter is missing the view will behave as if the language specified was invalid.
