halkyon_app: data locations as precise as a country or a state

An operator's DATA_LOCATION and BACKUP_LOCATION may name a subdivision
(ISO 3166-2, US-CA, DE-BY) besides the EU or a country. The app adds
"(EU)" to a member country and the country to a subdivision ("Germany
(EU)", "California, United States", "Bavaria, Germany (EU)"), in
English and German, and shows the most specific flag there is: a
subdivision's own where the flag package has one, else its country's.
Subdivision names come from Unicode CLDR 48.2 (tool/subdivision_names.py),
bundled with their licence, which the app registers.

# Subdivisions' names
`subdivisions.json` holds the names of states, regions and provinces (ISO 3166-2
codes, `US-CA`) in English and German, from the Unicode Common Locale Data
Repository (CLDR, <https://cldr.unicode.org/>), release 48.2 (tag `release-48-2`,
`common/subdivisions/en.xml` and `de.xml`), converted by the workspace's
`tool/subdivision_names.py`: English whole, German where it differs, variants left
out.
CLDR is under the Unicode License v3, whose notice is in `LICENSE-CLDR.txt`,
verbatim from that release, and in the app's licence list
(`registerHalkyonAppLicenses`).
