nameSupportsMiddleName

Whether the language uses a middle name at all. Korean, Japanese and Chinese names have no middle part, so includeMiddleNameincludeMiddleNameinclude_middle_name is ignored for them. Like the two helpers beside it, it is pure and it takes the language the same way the generators do.
