 Performing a fresh install with no pre-existing wp-config.php will prompt
 you to select a language as the first step.

 If you stick with "English (United States)" you'll be prompted a second
 time to choose a language when you get to install.php. This is due to an
 empty string present in `$_REQUEST['language']` on setup-config.php which
 means [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-admin/setup-
 config.php#L177 wp_install_load_language() fails] and therefore
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-admin/setup-
 config.php#L189 doesn't populate the language query var] in the link to
 install.php.

 We might need to explicitly use `en_US` when installing in American
 English to avoid ambiguity with not having selected a language.
