fix: add India boundary override from Natural Earth 50m data (#1796)

Adds India (IN) to country-boundary-overrides.geojson using the same
Natural Earth 50m Admin 0 Countries dataset already used for Pakistan.
The override system automatically replaces the base geometry on app load,
providing a higher-resolution MultiPolygon boundary (1518 points).

Renames the fetch script to reflect its broader purpose and updates
doc references in CONTRIBUTING.md and maps-and-geocoding.mdx.

Fixes koala73/worldmonitor#1721

### Country boundary overrides
Country outlines are loaded from `public/data/countries.geojson`. Optional higher-resolution overrides (sourced from [Natural Earth](https://www.naturalearthdata.com/)) are served from R2 CDN. The app loads overrides after the main file and replaces geometry for any country whose `ISO3166-1-Alpha-2` (or `ISO_A2`) matches. To refresh the Pakistan boundary from Natural Earth, run:
