Does not pick up browser locale settings anymore

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug Luxon 2 does not pick up the browser locale anymore.

Settings.defaultLocale is null
systemLocale had its detection functionality removed

To Reproduce Use a non-English browser and output a DateTime.toLocaleString() without setting any locales.

Actual vs Expected behavior Expected: The date is output in the browser language. (This works in Luxon ^1) Actual: The date is output in en-US.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: Win10
Browser: Chrome92
Luxon version: 2.0.1
Your timezone: Europe/Berlin

Additional context the detection was removed here: https://github.com/moment/luxon/commit/6bb7488b8a2869c6f1b70ca7fac55f9e2e439485#diff-572c92ef1c461030cf7e47772319dd3db1ec2b880dadca7f88a3d9cee8e22ca3L46-L50

The issue still seems to be present in v3.0.3 as well - my local is en-NZ (when checked with navigator.language) but Luxon is using en-GB (when checked with DateTime.local())

@icambron Same issue on luxon 3.0.1. navigator.language prints the correct locale but luxon is still using en-GB.
