This moves the flags for non-countries / subdivisions into a new file,
builtinFlags.json, which has a custom emoji field for display in chat
messages. The state flags will now show as "🇺🇸 (AK)" with the state
abbreviation instead of as .
countryCodesNames.json now only contains country codes recognised by Unicode.
In addition the builtinFlags.json file lets us add some other flags that
have Unicode support but are not countries. This includes the white flag,
pirate flag and some pride flags, I think these would be nice to have.
now people can finally do !flag surrender :P
With these changes all the flags can be treated in the same way, as they
are all objects with { code, names, emoji } properties, and we don't need
to specialcase country flags in getEmoji() for example.
