Add Polylang support for Customizer

I've been running around nuts searching for decent plugin-ready solution to add Polylang functionality to WordPress Customizer and ran across GitHub repository which had this solution. So I polished it and converted it to plugin.

Since then I have no need to manually add hooks, filters and additional scripts to add Polylang language support to Customizer.

This plugin does what it is supposed to do.

This plugin adds Polylang support for WordPress Customizer.
