Divide East Malaysia into 2 separate grid (Sarawak and Sabah-Labuan)

[PPsyrius]

I've found this out by chance while looking for TH's data in https://github.com/electricitymap/electricitymap-contrib/pull/4002

Seems like the two grids in East Malaysia are run independently by SESCO in Sarawak and SESB in Sabah and Labuan.

SESCO have a deal to supply electricity from Sarawak to West Kalimantan to Indonesia since 2016 at around 190-200MW

Similarly, SESB also planned to start importing electricity from SESCO grid, starting from 2023 onwards initially with 30-50MW (from the designed cap of 300MW)

Thus, I propose to separate the existing MY-EM (East Malaysia) into MY-SWK (Sarawak) and MY-SBH (Sabah - Labuan), even though we currently lack any usable source of parsers for these zones.

Hi @PPsyrius, we can do that.

We could also wait till we get some parser sources and do it, but it does seem like a good way to split the zone, so if someone wants to give it a shot, please do!
