I'll need to figure out a better way to find it before actually creating a PR for this.

They added uniquely identified downloads @ end of last year, any concern with tracking/privacy? |

@sempervictus Not from me. It's up to the user to consider that. |

The former geoip databases are no longer maintained, but libmaxminddb is. So switch to this.
Currently the output is limited to the country iso code. I haven't tried very hard to get state/province information, but this can be added if it's desired (I don't see a lot of use in it personally, but I'm not opposed to adding it).
I've only tested with the
GeoLite2-Country.mmdbdatabase.The
<geoipdb>configuration setting has been re-used for this.If the database file cannot be opened, an error is logged. Should it exit as well?
