Re: [w3c/payment-request] PaymentAddress attribute definition is wrong (#601)

@rsolomakhin unfortunately, no, for the reason I gave above. So, it's totally correct to *implement* with the CLDR (we do the same in Gecko). But citing the CLDR is still not right for the spec for the two reasons I gave:

1. The CLDR cites "Standard country or area codes for statistical use (M49)" (and takes the Alpha-2 codes from ISO, as far as I can tell)
1. M49 cites ISO 3166-1 for the codes. 

Thus, 3166-1 is the authoritative source for the codes, even if CLDR is how those codes are derived (which is an implementation detail). 

@adrianhopebailie, [ISO finally came to its senses](https://www.iso.org/new-way-of-using-iso-3166.html) and made the language codes available in multiple formats and searchable: https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#search
