Add a geonames_uploader job that downloads data from GeoNames, selects a set of geonames based on the config (like population size), and uploads the selected geonames to remote settings. This supports city-based weather queries on the client and lets the client recognize city and state names.
GeoNames is an open-source geographical database of place names worldwide, including cities, regions, and countries [1]. Technical documentation at [2].
This commit sets the population threshold to 50,000. That results in 1,013 geonames (U.S. cities and states) in the output, which results in 6 records when using the usual 200-items-per-attachment count. That seems reasonable.
