Bundle the Natural Earth populated-places table with audit coverage
Adds the project-authored gazetteer table derived from the Natural Earth 1:10m Populated Places dataset (public domain): 7342 rows, one per populated place, with the NE id as the stable record id, the transliterated ASCII name (NAMEASCII), alternate names, WGS84 point coordinates, ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code, the admin-1 name as the v1 containment element, POP_MAX, featureClass CITY, and the external identifiers Natural Earth publishes (wikidata, geonames, whosonfirst) as provenance-tagged attributes. The full derivation record (source, mirror commit, extraction date, field mapping, public-domain dedication) is in the file header. The table is deliberately pure ASCII in v1: non-ASCII primary names are carried as the ASCII transliteration Natural Earth provides, with the Unicode forms omitted; the folded matching chain keeps accented queries working against the ASCII rows. The audit test enforces the header's claims row by row: row-count floor, pure-ASCII bytes, no duplicate ids, country-code shape (the emoji-layer join key), lat/lon range, the attribute-key whitelist, and deterministic lookups. LICENSE gains the Natural Earth public-domain section; per the ASF guidance for public-domain data there is no NOTICE entry.
