Update a few countries who have officially changed their name in the last few years:

  • Macedonia → North Macedonia
  • Swaziland → Eswatini
  • Turkey → Türkiye

These are the official short names (ie, not "Republic of ...").

As of 2019-02-12 the name of the Republic of Macedonia was changed
to the Republic of North Macedonia.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prespa_Agreement
As of 2018-04-19 the name was changed to "Kingdom of Eswatini", or
"Eswatini" for short.

See: http://www.times.co.sz/news/118373-kingdom-of-eswatini-change-now-official.html
As of 2022-06-01 Turkey requested the UN to recognize their country
as "Türkiye".

The upstream version is out of date, with old versions of names for
Eswatini, North Macedonia, and Türkiye.
