Refactor i18n settings and improve language load handling

This update separates the creation of i18n settings into its own function (@kit/i18n) and enhances the handling of language and namespace loading in i18n.client. It tracks loaded languages and namespaces, and prevents rendering if none are loaded or after a maximum number of iterations. The usage of Suspense has also been modified in root-providers to employ a null fallback.
