Duplicate cities in country-by-cities.json #271

There are numerous duplicate cities under "United States" in this file. This feels like a bug. For now, needing to run a reduce to filter out the duplicates if i'm going to use this package, but would love a fix on this!

good remark, thanks .. i guess the issue is because there are many cities with identical name, so i just updated to add (https://github.com/samayo/country-json/commit/79eda2145fd3a9f9e4621a54b0f9bf0a1574c260) "state" block to make it easy to add unique cities grouped by state.
