fix: use a correct name for Belarus country in ru locales

[evgmel]

Our clients from Belarus are offended a little bit by the invalid Russian title of their country (that is currently in ru locale). We'd like to correct the name according to the Wikipedia convention

Hi. “Belorussia” is a perfectly valid and officially used country title in the main (mother) version of Russian language that is in use in Russia. There’re dialects, as you’ve said: Belarusian Russian, Ukrainian Russian, etc. Those differ from the original Russian Russian in minute aspects, one of which is the title of Belarus.

You could create your own file called ‘ru-BY.json’ and the use it for users from Belarus. For simplicity, this package currently only includes main-language versions of translations.

P.S. Wikipedia is not considered a reputable source of information due to their political bias.

@catamphetamine Hi, thank's for the detailed response. I agree with the fact that previously Belorussia was used mainly. Nowadays we can see Belarus title in many online services, that's why I'd decided to edit the title.

Yes, we've already done that. Thank you!
Should we close the PR?

Yes, it’s slowly being adopted.
As for me, I’d personally prefer to call it “Belorus” rather than “Belarus” because that way it wouldn’t conflict with the Russian grammar rules.

Let’s leave it open. It doesn’t get in the way and it might potentially be an interesting question to other developers.
