Update README.md to reflect GeoNames license

Marco Mattiolo requested to merge (removed):tiol-master-patch-32278 into master

Hi and thank you for maintaining Koko!

Looking into http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/readme.txt, I read

This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License,

then, the CC-BY-SA-4.0 sentence in README.md should be changed pointing to CC-BY-4.0 license.

And, there is no real need for the distro packager to manually download those 3 files, as src/CMakeLists.txt is already taking care of it: please check lines 132 and following.

I am pretty sure that's not needed, as I have just finished creating Koko packaging to be eventually included in Debian and CMake did everything ;)
