Disease name/code alias mapping

User Stories

As a developer of data prep scripts for producing derived IIDDA dataset
I want to be able to conveniently replace the names/codes of diseases in the dataset that I am working on with IIDDA-standard names
So that I can easily make data that interoperate with other data on IIDDA

As a user of derived IIDDA datasets
I want the same diseases to have the same names regardless of naming variation across sources
So that I can easily compare data from different sources

Acceptance Criteria

• Create a JSON file with one key for each disease, such that the key has the generic IIDDA-standard name
• The value for each key is a list of aliases for the disease that are found in the existing derived IIDDA datasets
• Create a script for inverting this JSON file so that developers can look up aliases and replace with IIDDA-standard names
• If the alias doesn't exist, it should be easy for the developer to push the new name to the current list
