change null author location to ZZ

After commit c744a1c7942276c644832ced5ffc18aa38768525, the location tool now assigns the location_code "ZZ" with the name "Unknown location". For those `author/author_handle.json` whose "location_code" and/or "location_name" was a JSON null, they now use a "location_name" of "ZZ" and a "location_name" of "Unknown location". HELP: It would be nice if we could figure out the true location or at least a well justified guess of authors whose location is now "ZZ". We cannot simply use a guess based on the name. But perhaps there are clues as to the current (or past) location of such IOCCC winner authors.
