Create a sitemap for Google #12

Comparea would be a good candidate for a sitemap listing every possible comparison. With 793 features, there are 314,028 possible comparisons. So I'd need 7 sitemap files to cover all of them. The hope is to get traffic from long-tail comparison queries, an example of which is [brooklyn vs. singapore].

See https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/183668?hl=en&ref_topic=6080646&rd=1 A sitemap file can't contain more than 50,000 URLs and must be no larger than 50 MB uncompressed.

I did this -- there are now >300,000 URLs for Comparea in the google index.
