Data update

Overview

Recheck of Bitdefender VPN. Prices, the policy's VPN section (still names IPVanish as processor) and the help articles all match.

The file said Bitdefender's advisories list no VPN flaws, which was wrong - there are two. A 2020 one where the Pango SDK inside the Windows app let a local program get SYSTEM rights, and a 2022 one that let a local attacker crash the standalone VPN app. Both got fixed and published with credit, so both count as handled well.

Countries goes from 110 to 109. The FAQ says 110 but the list under it adds up to 109. Trackers come out too, since the only Exodus report is for a build from February 2023.
