Updated locations file

- Added missing stations KICX, KTYX, KIWX, KSRX, PHKM, PHMO, PHWA, RKJK, LPLA. The list now includes all global NEXRAD sites: http://www.roc.noaa.gov/WSR88D/Images/WSR-88DCONUS-no-coveragetrimmed1000.jpg
- Retired stations KJAN and KRMX moved to end of the list. They still remain in the list for users who wish to import their historical data.
- Other stations arranged into correct alphabetical order.
- Station locations were confirmed (and some adjusted accordingly), by looking up the locations at http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/homr/
- Station locations have been confirmed by entering the coordinates into Google Maps and visually sighting the NEXRAD radome in the satellite picture. This was done for all stations, except KJAN and KRMX which no longer exist. This was done only to confirm the locations; there have been no coordinates determined solely from Google Maps, with the exception of the Okinawa Japan station.
- Station elevations and WBAN numbers were confirmed (and some adjusted accordingly) using data from http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/homr/
- All WBAN numbers less than 5 digits have had leading zeroes added, as is the correct way to represent these WBAN numbers.
- The "state" codes for Japan and South Korea have been replaced with the proper ISO alpha-2 country codes.

I'm using this file with librsl (not gempak) which contains a file wsr88d_locations.dat in the same format. This file has not been tested with gempak, but we are using it on our production system with librsl. We are constantly processing live NEXRAD level II data from all 50 states and Puerto Rico, and this locations file works great!
