    update Centmin Mod's Maxmind GeoLite2 database routines in 123.09beta01


    - This update allows Centmin Mod users to set MM_LICENSE_KEY variable with your Maxmind token key available when you sign up for Maxmind account at https://www.maxmind.com/en/geolite2/signup i.e. MM_LICENSE_KEY='YOUR_MAXMIND_TOKEN_KEY' in persistent config file at /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc and on first run of centmin.sh either via initial install or thereafter, will populate the new variable MM_LICENSE_KEY in /etc/csf/csf.conf config file and restart CSF Firewall (if detected already running).
    - Maxmind GeoLite2 (GeoIP 2 Lite) database is used in CSF Firewall's country look up routines as well as optionally in Centmin Mod's Nginx GeoIP2 nginx module when enabled as per guide at
    - Maxmind has changed GeoLite2 database download policy to require users register and signup up for a Maxmind account and stopped providing a publicly available download link https://blog.maxmind.com/2019/12/18/significant-changes-to-accessing-and-using-geolite2-databases/
    - For CSF Firewall's GeoLite2 database to work, CSF folks released CSF 13.10 with new variable MM_LICENSE_KEY in /etc/csf/csf.conf config file that you need to fill in with Maxmind account token key obtained after you sign up for Maxmind account at https://www.maxmind.com/en/geolite2/signup.
