Description
I have problems with submitting BatchAndOutput tasks via the API.
I am trying to submit one or more output files without a source file and without choosing an explicit language (there is none).
CMS rejects the submission with Invalid submission format! - Please select the correct files. in the log.
The problem is that match_files_and_language finds multiple candidate languages.
CWS sidesteps the problem by always sending a concrete language even if there are only output files submitted.
We can probably ignore the problem for this IOI, because it's going to have a single language enabled, which avoids the problem.
But we should fix it before the next release.

Research direction
Start by locating the API submission path and the match_files_and_language logic. Reproduce a BatchAndOutput submission with output files only, no source file, and no explicit language; done means CMS accepts the submission without selecting among multiple candidate languages, with the behavior verified before the next release.
