build(deps): bump pycountry from 24.6.1 to 26.2.16

[dependabot]

Bumps pycountry from 24.6.1 to 26.2.16.

Changelog

Sourced from pycountry's changelog.

26.2.16 (2026-02-16)

• Dropped support for end-of-life Pythons 3.8 and 3.9.

• Added explicit support for Python 3.13 and 3.14.

• Updated to iso-codes 4.20.1.

• Added support for matching initials in countries.search_fuzzy. For example, results for countries.search_fuzzy("UK") will now include GB (United Kingdom).

• Fixed subdivisions.add_entry and subdivisions.remove_entry, which would previously render the country_code index of subdivisions unusable causing subdivisions.get(country_code=...) to return a malformed result. Fixes issue #281.

PR Summary

Low Risk
Low-risk dependency update in a Python 3.11 project; pycountry appears to be used only for country-code lookup in one detection rule. The new package version drops Python 3.8/3.9 support, but this repo already requires Python 3.11.

Overview
Updates the pinned pycountry dependency from 24.6.1 to 26.2.16 in Pipfile and refreshes Pipfile.lock hashes and markers.

The main behavior change comes from upstream pycountry data and lookup updates, including refreshed ISO data and fuzzy country matching improvements.
