Aggregate column is not marked correctly for all countries

e.g. AUS has one row for entire country marked as "state" which should be "country" and it has 6 rows for the states Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia and Victoria which are blank but should be marked "state".

In addition, countries like the USA have a country level count in addition to state and county, but then countries like China only have data at a province level... so I'm starting to go a little crazy with what countries to aggregate/melt!

@sagarkulkarny hmm, you may be right about AUS, @camjc can you look into it? We should be properly setting aggregate: 'state' on both the states and the rolled up data for AUS itself.

@mdibenigno I don't see the problem at all here. CHN clearly says aggregate: state, and so does every single CHN province -- if you want totals for all of CHN, then just take CHN.

Look at the code on the map: https://github.com/lazd/coronadatascraper/blob/master/site/map.js#L133-L160

You can see we find out what is a county, what is a state, and what is a country and choose which one to display by looking at aggregate.

@tautme says

The aggregate labels for country total cases are not consistent. #378
