Edit request - add "U.S." as an alternate for United States

U.S. is a commonly used abbreviation (explicitly listed as acceptable in MOS:ABBREVIATIONS. But "U.S." is not included as an alternate here (altnames={"US","USA"}). This causes articles to be added to Category:Wikipedia page with obscure country if "U.S." is used in infoboxes that perform a check with {{#invoke:ISO 3166|function}} while "U.S." is OK in other infoboxes that do not perform this check. Please add "U.S." the the list of altnames on line 239. MB 21:03, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
