Jeremy Stanley 8a37eddc06 Update correlation sources
Remove the stale metar.tbl and zonecatalog.curr.tar, which the USA
NWS hasn't been updating for many years, and add the public domain
airports.csv file from the amazing ourairports.com community. Also
update to latest (2019) USA Census Bureau location data, March 2020
WX zone information, cooperative sites list from 2018 (latest), and
regenerated active station and zone lists. Loss of the zonecatalog
necessitates directly applying various forecast and alert URL
patterns, though some which appeared unused by NWS for many years
were not included.

Clear out all old overrides, since the vast majority are obsoleted
by refreshed data, and build fresh correlation sets from the above
sources. Basically all sites have switched from HTTP to HTTPS, so
update URLs for this too.

The weather project employs the ISC license, a permissive free software
license written by the Internet Systems Consortium and functionally
equivalent to the 2-clause BSD license. Initially used for the ISC's own
software releases, it has since become the preferred license of many
other projects.
The correlation data provided is augmented by manual research but built
primarily by aggregating sources within the USA Public Domain (U.S.
Census Bureau Gazetteer and publications of the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration's National Climatic Data Center and National
Weather Service including its National Centers for Environmental
Prediction and Office of Science and Technology/Systems Engineering
Center Geographic Information Systems Map Group). Copies of the original
external data sources have been provided with this software for
