The problem is that I need the server-side logic associated with 
kc_locale.  kc_locale will update the cookie and update the UserModel.  
ui_locales is just a pass-through back to the application.

So we can either add kc_locale as a login param in keycloak.js or we can 
add the server-side logic to ui_locales.  The simplest is to do the 
former.  But perhaps we should have been doing the latter all along?
