1. Generate population weights file …

   To be used for weighted sampling in a future commit.
   
   I considered the following data sources:
   
   - World Bank Data <https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.POP.TOTL>
   - IMF <https://www.imf.org/external/datamapper/NGDP_RPCH@WEO/OEMDC/ADVEC/WEOWORLD>
   - CIA The World Factbook <https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/field/population/country-comparison/>
   - United Nations World Population Prospects <https://population.un.org/wpp/Download/Standard/CSV/>
   
   The UN data seemed to be the most comprehensive and easy to use.

2. Use population-based weighted sampling for Asia builds …

   This replaces the Asia/China/India split with population-based weighted
   sampling (possible in Augur version 25.3.0).
   
   This requires changing the geographical grouping resolution from
   division to country, but I assume it was only grouped by division in an
   attempt to have varying group sizes per country, and that
   population-based weighting is an acceptable replacement.
