File extensions are not 1:1 unique with languages

For example, the .ts file extension is used by TypeScript as well as QT translation files which are in XML format.
The languages.yml file includes this for both languages but linguist internally links extensions to languages using a map. This will result in the last entry added to the map winning.
Currently LanguageByFilename returns a string. We should probably deprecate it and introduce a version of this function that returns a list of matching languages.
