feat(map): every country on earth, picked continent first

CI / check (push) Successful in 14m52s

Map questions can now be on the world's countries besides Japan's
prefectures: a new question chooses its map above it.

The world is Natural Earth's 1:50m countries (public domain), as they are
on the ground, one region per ISO 3166-1 code (239; Gibraltar and the US
Outlying Islands from the 1:10m layer, which has them), named in every
language a studyset can be in from the Unicode CLDR (Unicode License v3,
its notice in the licence list). tool/maps/world_countries.py builds it;
the outline code it shares with the Japan script moved to outlines.py,
which still writes Japan's file byte for byte. The 1.8 MB file is parsed
off the screen's isolate.

Picking goes in layers on both maps: on the whole map one taps a group
(a continent, or Kantō, Kansai …; chips name them too) and the map flies
there, then one taps the region; Back returns. A group of one (Hokkaidō,
Okinawa) and what is in none (Antarctica) are picked at once. A country
in two groups (Russia, Türkiye, Cyprus) opens the one nearer the tap.
Oceania's frame runs past 180° so the Pacific stays in one piece.

What is still too small to hit gets a ring, 48 dp of reach as Material's
touch target: on the ring it is picked; near it, where the tap could mean
it or its neighbours, the map zooms in rather than guess. Pinching and a
mouse's wheel zoom as before.

Names show in the app's language, beside them the map's own (Japanese for
Japan) or the studyset's (キプロス beside Cyprus in a Japanese studyset).

"""Builds the app's world map of countries and territories.
The outlines come from Natural Earth, whose vector data is in the public
domain: its Admin 0 (countries) layer at 1:50m, release v5.1.2, which draws
borders as they are on the ground, generalised for maps of this scale with
neighbours' borders kept identical; Gibraltar and the US Outlying Islands,
which that layer leaves out, come from its 1:10m layer. The names come from
the Unicode CLDR,
release 48.2.3 (Unicode License v3), in every language a studyset can be in:
the names phones and computers give countries. Each download is checked
against the hash recorded below.
Each region is a country or territory with its own ISO 3166-1 code (CY, GL,
XK for Kosovo as the EU and CLDR use it), 239 in all. Areas without a code
of their own count where ISO counts them: Northern Cyprus as Cyprus,
Somaliland as Somalia, and the outlying parts Natural Earth draws apart
(Australia's islands in the Indian Ocean) as their country. Siachen Glacier,
which belongs to no code, stays as land that can't be picked.
The outlines are kept as Natural Earth generalised them, so neighbours'
borders still meet; only islands under 0.001 square degrees are dropped
(unless they are all a region has), and coordinates rounded to 3 decimals,
about 100 m. Each region keeps Natural Earth's label point, where the app
marks a region too small to tap.
