Removal of distinguishingItems in CLDR 33

[Tom Hughes via CLDR-Users]

After more investigation I realised it's not actually even obvious
how to map the annotations to this - I think it's something like
anything without @VALUE, @METADATA or @DEPRECATED?

In any case I've hard coded the value from CLDR 32 in my scripts
for now...

I've filed https://unicode.org/cldr/trac/ticket/11026 though I did
have a bit of trouble with the captcha as it kept telling me that
the V1 recaptcha had shut down on 2018-03-31 which obviously isn't
actually true yet but will be very soon.
