Fix French cities native property mistranslations

The native property of 2,478 French cities was filled with what appears to be automatic mistranslations, resulting in nonsensical values.

{
  "id": 39305,
  "name": "Albi",
  "state_id": 4799,
  "state_code": "OCC",
  "country_id": 75,
  "country_code": "FR",
  "latitude": "43.92980000",
  "longitude": "2.14800000",
  "native": "eau de Javel", // literally means "bleach"
  // ...
}

The only change in this PR is setting the native property to match the name property for all French cities.


🗺️ A selection of funny mistranslations

Ableiges: Capables            // "Able"
Antibes: Anticorps            // "Antibodies"
Bras: Soutien-gorge           // "Bra"
Chessy: Les échecs            // "Chess"
Gap: Écart                    // "Gap"
Mer: Mélanger                 // "Mix"
Pompey: Pompe                 // "Pump"
Porri: Poireaux               // "Leek"
Rothau: Peignoir              // "Bathrobe"
Wisches: Essuie-glace         // "Windshield wiper"

This fix ensures data consistency and prevents meaningless translations in localized fields.
