- Many thanks to @mbloch for help with debugging Mapshaper <> PostGIS compatibility
GENERAL
1) Ensure "empty" text fields have minimum length of 1 char for PostGIS compatibility.
As the housekeeping DBFs are joined with the Mapshaper cracked features, the
5.y.z series would produce zero length text fields, which are valid but are
incompatible with PostGIS. A new version of Mapshaper, used here, now produces
a minimum of 1 char text length fields even if all column values are empty.

2022-05-04: 5.1.0
- Many thanks to @jeffdefacto for help with disputed boundaries research
GENERAL
1) Add top-level-country (TLC) point-of-view (POV) with shapefile, cleanup the existing
ISO POV, add shapefile export for ISO point-of-view, and bug fix polish for alternate
points-of-view added in v5.0.0 and v5.0.1.

HOUSEKEEPING
- UPDATED: NE_ADMIN_0_DETAILS
- Add TLC point-of-view for 347 top-level-countries needing "tender loving
care" – for any place that might possibly be labeled as a "country" or
"dependency" in any POV, or otherwise not contiguous with it's home
territory so needs an explanatory label. See adm0_tlc and fclass_tlc
columns, and should be paired with note_adm0 or note_brk columns to give
context to the feature's sovereignty. FCLASS_TLC values include:
Admin-0 country (eg United States), Admin-0 dependency (eg Puerto Rico),
Admin-1 region (eg England, Scotland, Wales, and Norther Ireland constituant
countries of the United Kingdom), Admin-1 states provinces (eg Martinique
with France or Alaska with United States which are both non-contiguous with
their home or "metropolitan" territory), Admin-0 lease (eg Baykonur
Cosmodrome leased to Russia), Admin-0 breakaway and disputed (eg Golan
Heights between Israel and Syria), Admin-0 claim area (eg Crimea between
Ukraine and Russia), Admin-0 indeterminant (eg Spratly Islands which is
contested and administered by many countries), Island group (eg Midway
Islands which is part of the United States Minor Outlying Islands
dependency), and Island (eg Antigua which is a component of the country
Antigua and Barbuda, or Jan Mayen which is part of the Svalbard and Jan
Mayen dependency).
- Refine ISO point-of-view properties for 249 countries, dependencies, and
"it's complicated" admin-1 (eg Taiwan and overseas French regions).
Rename adm0_a3_iso to adm0_iso as it was getting clipped to adm0_a3_is
which is a reserved 2-char country code. FCLASS_ISO values include:
Admin-0 country (eg United States), Admin-0 dependency (eg Puerto Rico),
Admin-1 states provinces (eg Taiwan), and Unrecognized (eg England).
- Add TLC (superset of ISO) and TLC_DIFF boolean columns to support the above
- Add label_x and label_y columns to support stand alone point-based labeling
- Mark Kosovo as recognized by fewer countries and by TLC (but not ISO)
- Mark Somaliland as recognized by Taiwan and TLC
(but not ISO or any other country)
- Mark Northern Cyprus as recognized by Turkey and TLC
(but not ISO or any other country)
- Mark Taiwan as recognized by itself and TLC
(but as an admin-1 by ISO)
- Adjust all existing POV with Admin-0 map unit to more fine grained values
- Add Sir Creek dispute between Pakistan and India
- Add North Boreno dispute between Malaysia and Philippines
- Provide optional grouping of separate Andaman Islands and Nicobar Islands
which form a single Admin-1 for India, needed for TLC POV
- Cleanup BRK_GROUP, NOTE_ADM0, and NOTE_BRK columns
