Intl has Kosovo in DENYLIST

Symfony version(s) affected

Description

Intl component has Kosovo in DENYLIST. Why is that? We rely on this component to populate country selection but we need Kosovo to be also included

How to reproduce

Just call: Countries::getNames() and see that Kosovo is not in the result

Possible Solution

remove Kosovo from DENYLIST: https://github.com/symfony/intl/blob/510a40cbf59244af027905cdb838eb7b57447752/Data/Generator/RegionDataGenerator.php#L59

I think the reason is that the Republic of Kosovo is not recognized as an official country by the ISO 3166 standard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_3166_country_codes), which is the one we use to get the list of countries (same as most of other software projects do). That's why it's been included in the "deny list"

Yeah now I stumbled on that also after creating this issue. But I don't think that is a correct way to handle this issue.

I managed to write a reply in the other issue already: #40020 (comment)

The point is that in real world people need solution for that.
