Add the remaining common Marriott brands

[tas50]

Wow they have a lot of brands. I think this adds all the major ones and cleans up some bad brand vs company issues + restrictive country codes.

I also split out Fairfield Inn and Fairfield Inn & Suites. This one is total mess. They appear to be rebranding the whole lineup, but depending on what type of location and where you are it's either Fairfield by Marriott, Fairfield Inn, or Fairfield Inn & Suites. Hopefully they rebrand them all in the next few years and we can fix it, but this is close enough for now and allows folks to continue to distinguish the suite variant.

Thanks for cleaning up these entries! Hopefully we can avoid repurposing QIDs as much as possible. By ensuring that brand:wikidata can stand on its own unambiguously, we maximize the tag’s utility for data consumers other than editor validators.

I didn't get a chance to look too closely at this, but whatever you want to do is fine with me.. 👍

I still need to carve out some time to double check my own thoughts here on some of the brands. The entire hotel industry is in the middle of a rebranding with the recent mergers and it makes this tricky. So many brands are using 2 or 3 different names for the same brand.

It really is pretty wild. I look through our hotel list and wonder like.. are the hotels ok? Why are they doing this? Nobody else does this - everyone else consolidates little brands into big ones like it's a winner-take-all competition.

I would love it if someone someday finds NSI and OSM useful to research business trends like this.

I made a few tweaks to this. Thanks for the detailed review @1ec5. I'll make a few more updates to the IDs and double check this brand mess everyone is in the middle of.
