Expand SADR country info mentioning alternative names #570

Fix #561.

As discussed in #561, saying that "Sahara Zachodnia" (Western Sahara) is also known as SADR (in the Polish version), is ambiguous and potentially misleading, since Western Sahara is both the name of the geographic area (ignoring political associations) and one of the names used for the partially recognised state. However, AFAICT, we have the exact same situation for Artsakh, in Polish, (Górski Karabach (Nagorno-Karabakh) also known as Artsakh, where Nagorno-Karabakh can refer both to the country and the geographical area.). Also, since we're generally dealing with countries, here, it should be clear that we mean Western Sahara (the country) rather than WS (the area), so I think my initial worry was overblown.

I'm not 100% sure if I have the correct gender for conosciuto in Italian (should it agree with Repubblica.. or with stato?).

The same question holds for Czech — should známý agree with ..republika or with stát?

I've gone with agreement with stát for Czech (male) and with republic (female) for Italian, because in the former the second clause is separated only with a comma, while in the latter it's separated by a semicolon. The choice of separator was based on precedence in other cases (Faroe islands and Taiwan).
