Country Reference Data is missing Kosovo

[Vincent-Kessels]

The Country Reference Data (https://datahub.io/core/country-list) is missing the country code XK for Kosovo.

References

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2#XK

The code XK is being used by the European Commission the IMF, and SWIFT, the CLDR, and other organizations as a temporary country code for Kosovo.

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XK_(user_assigned_code)

ISO affirms that no code beginning with "X" will ever be standardised as a country code. ("XK" for Kosovo is a unilateral "user assigned code" and not an ISO 3166 standard country code.) Consequently if/when Kosovo is recognised, this XK code will need to be replaced with one beginning with another letter.

Kosovo is also missing in the Country Code Reference Data (https://datahub.io/core/country-codes)
