Convert world manufacturer identifier to a human-readable format #1

In 0.1.0-alpha, the WMI (first three digits of the VIN) is displayed as-is. It should be converted to the name and region/country of the manufacturer.

Both this and #2 will require querying the vPIC API. The WMI is assigned by SAE International, and according to their site, there are 33,000 identifiers worldwide, so hard-coding even a subset of them is impractical.
