Adding countries to checkout

To add additional countries to the checkout, follow the steps:

1. Expand the country list by including country ISO codes directly into config/Shared/stores.php.

// first entry is default.
    'countries' => ['DE', 'AT', 'NO', 'CH', 'ES', 'GB','AU'],
//Add the countries you would like to add to this array. For this example "AU" (Australia) was added

2. Update the glossary so that the ISO country code is resolved to the real name of the country you added.
