Use country flags from the same source

[kndehaan]

A new source for country flags is used for new country datasets NO, CH, RS: https://flagdownload.com/
A new source is used since we don't know the source from the all ready existing country datasets. Unfortunately it is visible that the layout of the flags are a bit different from the new source.

Solution is:

• to replace all flags with flags from this new source
• while we're at it, we should add a flag for Singapore

I've been checking out other packages (since the ones from https://flagdownload.com/ are not so nice - imo). It's been tricky to find free ones that include all rights, though. Here are a few options (like for Norway):

• https://flagdownload.com/flag-of-norway/ -- these are quite 'normal' and straight
• https://icon-icons.com/icon/Norwegian-flag/5874 -- rounded edges, but a very orange shadow (and maybe some difficulties with the rights)
• https://www.3dflagsplus.com/2015/11/flag-icons-of-norway.html -- rounded edges, high shadow/reflection contrast...

Although the current ones are way better than these ones, I think we need to replace them all. What do you think?

Hey! I think you can also widen the search if you are unhappy so far, with open source installable flag packs like this one demo. Just make sure they are compatible with yarn and we should be able to install them in etmodel!

Good suggestion @noracato, I however have no idea how to implement the method of getting the flags via yarn to how we now read the flags saved in etmodel/app/assets/images/flags-24.

• Does this require a whole new setup in the code? Is this something that we would want? Then this is something where we rely on dev, so then we won't be able to implement this right now...
• But if you mean with 'installing in etmodel' that we just save all flags from a package into the above mentioned folder in one go (instead of needing other changes in code setup), is this something that @claudiavalkenier or with my support can pick up with some instructions provided by you?

Aside from these packages, @noracato do you know whether it is possible to use flags with a .pdf or .svg extension (or some other vector-based extension)?
