Hreflang improvements

[AndrewHaine]

A couple of improvements have been identified for the hreflang functionality we add.

Firstly we'll look at adding self-referencing hreflang tags to multi-language sites. We currently add the inverse hreflang tags for pages but we're not yet adding a self-referencing link for the current language.

Secondly we'd like to add an x-default hreflang tag which would point to a fallback/default page on multisite setups. I'm thinking we need to be able to identify a 'default' site to link to, this will be an additional config option allowing you to select one of your sites to be the fallback language version, an x-default tag will then be added to all pages pointing to the version of the current page on the default site .

@AndrewHaine First of all, I want to say that Aardvark SEO is such a great PlugIn. I have highly appreciated it in the last weeks and months. Since I'm running into some x-default issues. Is there anything we could do to support the development of the here described improvements?

Hi @justkidding96 , we're currently working on mapping the new roadmap for the addon, and will be reviewing this enhancement as part of the roadmap plan. We'll keep you up to date as this moves forward and we create a timing plan for roadmap enhancements and features. Thanks!

Hey @justkidding96, I am no longer involved in the Aardvark project but will leave you in the capable hands of @CandourDevs :)

@CandourDevs I have put together a PR for this here: #166 hopefully this can get the ball rolling to get this feature implemented.
