New x-default hreflang value for country selector/redirector homepages

The homepages of multinational and multilingual websites sometimes point visitors to localized pages, either by redirecting them or by changing the content to reflect the user’s language.

Now we have a new hreflang annotation for such pages to help our algos understand this setup better.

Details and code example here:

And not just that! There is an extra little surprise for you :)
