Changes for version v9.0.0 - 2022-06-09

Deprecation
- The use of language tags that includes country code is deprecated. See "docs/API.md#language-tag". Such language codes will be made illegal in the v2022.2 release. Use language codes without country code instead.
- The use of an empty string in the "LANGUAGE.locale" setting is deprecated and will be made illegal in the v2022.2 release. See "docs/Configuration.md#language-section".
- The API methods "get_test_results" and "get_test_history" returns two keys with the same timestamp in different formats. The "creation_time" key is deprecated and will be removed with release v2023.1. Use the "created_at" key instead. See "docs/API.md#api-method-get_test_results" and "docs/API.md#api-method-get_test_history".
