feat(transit): name Hamilton's routes, which ship as internal keys

Not one of HSR's 80 route ids equals the number on the bus. Hamilton was
registered without a routeLabel, so every vehicle in the city read as
"Route 5783" where a rider would say 5 DELAWARE — 228 of them in an
afternoon sample. The mechanism to fix it already existed and simply was
never pointed at this feed.

Two details the table cannot skip:

Hamilton runs two generations of route id at once. `5688` and `5780` are
both the 2 BARTON, and both arrive in the live feed, so both are listed.
That is why 80 ids collapse to 46 distinct routes.

The seasonal and event shuttles publish a name where the local routes
publish a number — TC230, PEACH, ROCKTON. Those are already what a rider
would say, so they survive as published rather than being forced into a
number they do not have. Numbers are unpadded to match the rest of the
registry: routes.txt says `02`, a rider says 2.

Ids and names are from the City's own published GTFS routes.txt, which
sits under the same open-data licence as the realtime feed. Checked
against the live feed: all 30 route ids in service translate, none fall
through.
