Description
Expected behavior of the wanted feature
In MKVToolNix GUI you can add many chapter names with different languages, but MPV only chooses the first one, and can't be configured to use preferred language, like already there is alang, slang, and vlang.
Can someone implement new variable clang for example, to set preferred chapters language?

Research direction
Start by tracing how the existing alang, slang, and vlang options are defined and how chapter names are selected. Identify the chapter-selection entry point and relevant tests, then define the preferred-language behavior for the proposed clang option and verify it with multilingual chapter metadata.
