v3.4.1

✨ Alternative & former country names (#178, #179)

getCountryCode() now resolves a curated set of alternative names — fixing name→code lookups that broke when countries adopted new ISO short names:

• Former ISO names — Czech Republic→CZ, Cape Verde→CV, Turkey→TR, Swaziland→SZ, Macedonia→MK, Burma→MM
• Common short forms — UK/Britain→GB, US/USA/America→US, UAE→AE, Holland→NL
• Historical / colonial names — Persia→IR, Ceylon→LK, Siam→TH, Rhodesia→ZW, Abyssinia→ET, Formosa→TW, Zaire→CD, and more
• Spelling variants — Byelorussia→BY, Rumania→RO, Bahrein→BH, plus diacritic-free Cote d'Ivoire, Turkiye

New optional alias?: string[] on ICountry (also surfaced via getCountryData). A build-time guard test ensures no name, native, or alias is ever ambiguous. Adds ~1.2 KB to countries.min.json — fully non-breaking.

Myanmar (Burma) is now cleanly Myanmar, with Burma / Myanmar (Burma) kept resolvable as aliases.

🛠 Tooling (#176, #180)

• Adopt TypeScript 7; extend check-types to all workspace packages.
• Align packageManager to bun@1.3.14; sync workspace versions.
• Version-bump script now runs Biome format automatically (keeps releases lint-clean).
