Added additional flags to regional lists #3904

In large part inspired by the success of https://github.com/AnXh3L0/blocklist/pull/10, I felt the time was right to attempt to add more flags to some lists.

I feel 100.00% confident in the new flags for Adblock List for Albania, Romanian Ad (ROad) Block List Light, and PersianBlocker. MasterKia himself can confirm the relevance of the latter one first-hand.

I at least don't think the Turkish sector on Cyprus use the main Cyprus flag to any real extent, so using the Cyprus flag for the Greek list seems safe to me.

Suriname for EasyDutch probably needs some explanation: Suriname has Dutch as its sole administrative language, which is more than what can be said about Belgium or ZA Afrikaans. And while there's only 2 relevant newssites in Suriname, both have strong coverage in EasyDutch.

I did however not wager a guess for flags for AdGuard Français. I obviously can't add Belgian or Swiss flags, and there's not all that many newssites in Monaco, Cameroon, or Senegal.

Adding the Faroese flag to Nordic Filters was tempting (and Bosnia-Hercegovina's flag to Serbo-Croatian List), but I didn't want to make it look like I was the focus of the PR.

All good except for "Adblock List for Albania", I looked in the list and there are no instance of .xk being used.

That's the thing: Various internet TLD authorities never actually got around to opening up .xk for use, so Kosovo sites have to use other TLDs instead. At the time of writing, a Kosovo-specific section is at the bottom of that list.
