v8: Get specific culture dictionary value

See original GitHub issue

At the moment UmbracoHelper have two overload methods to get value or an dictionary item.

GetDictionaryValue(string key)
GetDictionaryValue(string key, string altText)

https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/blob/853087a75044b814df458457dc9a1f778cc89749/src/Umbraco.Web/UmbracoHelper.cs#L174-L198

It would be great if we also could get a dictionary value of a specific culture and/or fallback to a culture, e.g. en.

Maybe something like this:

public string GetDictionaryValue(string key, string culture = null)
public string GetDictionaryValue(string key, string culture = null,  Fallback fallback = default)
public string GetDictionaryValue(string key, Fallback fallback = default)

@umbrabot still relevant I think this is relevant to get a dictionary value for a specific culture similar to what we can for property values.

I Will post the same here as I’ve posted in the PR:

While I am creating this PR, I am not 100% sure that this is the best way of doing it. I wanted to add default properties to the current GetDictionaryValue methods, but I then run into problems regarding overloads being the same. And I can’t quite add regular parameters as that’ll be a breaking change (quite a big one actually)… So, I am open to any feedback!

This PR only adds a new method for a different culture, nothing with a fallback.
