Using six-group.com as source for automatic updates #30

Description

Would the package maintainers be interested in a PR that scripts the updating of the codes in this package?

The idea would be to use SIX Financial Information as the source.

SIX Financial Information AG is the official Maintenance Agency of these currency codes under ISO 4217 and as such the only recognized, authoritative source on currency code designations.

They offer and XML copy of all the code current codes at https://www.six-group.com/dam/download/financial-information/data-center/iso-currrency/lists/list_one.xml moved to: https://www.six-group.com/dam/download/financial-information/data-center/iso-currrency/lists/list-one.xml

In regards to #4, they also offer a list of historic denominations at https://www.six-group.com/dam/download/financial-information/data-center/iso-currrency/lists/list_three.xml moved to: https://www.six-group.com/dam/download/financial-information/data-center/iso-currrency/lists/list-three.xml

(I have taken an interest because this package lists ZWL as deprecated when it's otherwise still in the official list, including on Wikipedia -- so it seems less ambiguity is needed)
