Fixes #1403 and a load of other issues (see the changelog)

Summary of changes

Adds SBAO_FSS splits,
Checked and amended various external positions,
Adds various external positions that may interface with FHSH_APP,
Adds additional nearby airway and subsequent fix definitions nearby,
Corrected St Helena airspace (TMA lower boundary, CTR upper boundary and lateral definition).

LOA compliance/following:

Adds LOA described fixes.

Continues with status quo.
(Oh the joys of a prehistoric LOA 😆 )

FIR boundaries

Note: Johannesburg oceanic (FAJO) has been artificially cut off at S080 due to EuroScope thinking the earth is flat.

Fixes: ATANI, DAGAM, LOKIM, URAPI
LOKIM in the LOA is misspelled as 'LOKIN'
UL695 for DAGAM UL695 ASI
Fixes picked due to relative proximity/airway proximity to Ascension & St Helena, and thus potential utility in having it defined.
Adjacent for Ascension & St Helena
Ascension Ops sector defined up to FL100 as Ascension CTR ends at FL100 (according to the LOA).
FHAW_A_APP covers FHAW_TWR top-down
Whilst no effect, described in LOA, and may be useful to see for St Helena.
North and North-East positions established.
Non-oceanic - oceanic is GOOC
Add missing AFRC_FSS controller ID
Add missing second : to AFRC_FSS definition
Also defines Africa South Control for visibility.
Whilst positions are not expected to be necessary, added to be useful.

According to the LIDO charts, there is no ops position, therefore, I believe we should simply update the LoA to reflect reality.

I concur, however it seems that nobody particularly wants to take local ownership of Ascension, so it may be more hassle than it's worth.

Following LoA upper limit for Ascension Ops

Moving forward with the status quo (with regards to Ascension Ops).
