docs: Return a normalized name/code for country in ``country_str``.
      The input can be a code or name, the ``target`` determines output value.
      3 character ISO code is the default (iso3c), 'country_name', and 'iso2c'
      are common also. See ``countrycode.countrycode`` for details and other
      options. Raises ``ValueError`` if the country is unrecognized.
