fix(geocode): prefer the settlement when a POI also fits the region

When several candidates fit a "place, region" query, take a settlement or
administrative area over a POI of the same name, so a cafe called "Paris"
in Lyon cannot win "Paris, France" from the nearby pass.

Tests: region queries without a camera bias, whole-word and every-word
region matching, city and county regions, the nearby whole-name answer when
the unbiased request fails, and the settlement preference. The new tests sit
with the other Paris, Texas tests. The station fixture uses its real city.
CURRENT-STATE now describes the order the code applies.
