Fix anki-geo#672. Wikipedia changed the name in 2024-12: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Timor-Leste&oldid=1264890203 after a discussion and formal vote. Change in English only (none of the other Wikipedias have changed the article name). (However, also change the parenthetical name in Chinese.) Note that for the Wikimedia sources of the map/flag, the upstream name hasn't been changed, so the links in sources.csv are unchanged.
(Lack of hyphen!)
English Wikipedia updated the main name in 2019: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sanaa&oldid=928109035 Czech Wikipedia updated it on 2023-01-01. Danish Wikipedia has Sanaá as the main spelling, but "Danske Sprognævn" (main Danish source) still has Sana. The old spelling has been added to the capital info to avoid confusion (we don't want people who learned the old spelling to think that what they learned is wrong when their deck is updated).
