Support for general properties file in EGL Rich UI like ResourceBundle in Java

During deployment, the HTML file created for a RUI application contains a static link to a properties file, with an extension that matches the specific locale that was specified for the HTML file. At runtime, the browser is requesting this file directly from the Server, and not from a Servlet, which means that there is no negotiation that takes place to try and resolve the file.

Customer would like a behaviour similar to what is available for ResourceBundle in Java:
if the locale of the browser is en_US, then first 'xxxxxxxx-en_US.properties' will be considered. If this is not available, then 'xxxxxxxx-en.properties' will be considered. If even that is not available then, lastly, xxxxxxxx.properties will be considered.
