Country Table Rework

Just checked in the first complete rework of the country tables. This splits the original table into two tables. One contains the language dependent, installation independent elements of the country, the 'countrylang' table; the fields in this table never change regardless of FishCart configuration. The other contains an entry for each FishCart defined language; this serves as a join table to bind to the language dependent portion for the country name and ISO codes.

This part of the rework has been much more detailed than originally thought, but the structure is solid and normalized. The present design is very much a collaborative effort of the developers, especially B. and Dan Smith.

If this checks out as quickly as I hope, we should be close to a formal 3.1 release. Release has been delayed longer than anyone wanted, but we will have a much more stable, useable release for it.
