Christopher Gaw 50ff15482d North American hydro edits for 5 issues ...

This PR includes work I did in my previous PR, #502. To do this, I created a new branch based upon my previous branch that contain the edits of PR#502 just to play it safe and to avoid potential issues. For this new PR though, here are the issues and edits I did:

For #472, I added the below edits for ne_id = 1159113251 in the ne_110m_lakes shapefile:
name = Great Salt Lake
name_abb = Great Salt L.
label = Great Salt Lake
wikidata = Q178741

For #426, I added the below edits for ne_id = 1159109029 in the ne_10m_lakes shapefile:
* name = Napaktulik
* name_alt = Takijuq|Takiyuak
* wikidataid = Q1546823

For #41, I changed the min_label to 6.0 for ne_id = 1159120759 in the ne_10m_geography_marine_polys shapefile.

For #308, I edited ne_id=1159114515 in the ne_10m_rivers_lake_centerlines shapefile by adding the missing lake centerlines for the Alsek River. I did this by using pinakographos’ centerlines and snapping the river polylines to the end points of the lake centerlines. I used all of the attributes of the “Correction” shapefile for the lake centerlines since it seemed like it followed the main river’s attributes and were similar to other lake centerline attributes, except I also added the following attributes:
label=Alsek River
wikidataid=Q1781851
dissolve=233Lake Centerline
ne_id=1729949123 (I generated this id using https://www.brooklynintegers.com/create/)

**Note, I did not add a ne_id to the lake centerlines. How should its id be generated? Or will this be done automatically in the future?

I also added the following attributes to the river polyline (ne_id=1159114515):
name=Alsek River
label=Alsek River
wikidataid=Q1781851

Here are some sources to confirm this rivers name and Wikidata:
USGS map: https://www.usgs.gov/centers/asc/science/alsek-river?qt-science_center_objects=0#qt-science_center_objects
Alaska.org: https://www.alaska.org/detail/alsek-river
Wikidata: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1781851

For #425, I created a new lake named Whitefish lake in the ne_10m_lakes shapefile and created a new small river connecting Whitefish Lake with Lynx Lake in the ne_10m_rivers_north_america shapefile (since that is where the lake centerlines were). To do this, I split Lynx lake (ne_id=1159108899), created a gap between the split features, and gave the northern feature the following attributes:
name=Whitefish Lake
name_abb=Whitefish L.
min_zoom=6.0
min_label=7.0
wikidataid=Q22610852
ne_id=1729949125 (which I generated from https://www.brooklynintegers.com/create/)
I also checked the rest of the attributes and they seemed fine.

I then slightly modified the geometries of Whitefish Lake and Lynx Lake only near the gap between the lakes following imagery without being too detailed.

After this, I split the lake centerline (ne_id=1159145759) for Lynx Lake twice and then merged the lake centerlines for Lynx Lake and Whitefish Lake so they were one feature. A river between the lakes was formed as a result of this. I snapped this river and the lake centerlines with each other and with the lake edges. I then left all of the attributes for the river between the lakes but added the following attributes:
featurecla=River
ne_id=1729949155 (also generated from https://www.brooklynintegers.com/create/)
I left dissolve=21320Lake Centerline just in case it was wanted as a reference. If needed, I can change this to 21320River or even leave as null.

Lastly, I checked to see that all rivers and lake centerlines were connected with each other and lakes in this area, including in the ne_10m_rivers_lake_centerlines and ne_10m_lakes_north_america shapefiles. Everything seems fine here, so that is good.
