Ainu is centralized (& Japan border fixes) - compatibility version

Description
Ainu Mosir is now a centralized nation. Why? Because I like bears.

Install this mod if you like bears too (or if you don't want Hokkaido & South Sakhalin to be taken by Russia in 1836).

This is the compatibility version; it shoud be compatible with most things, though there are some differences from the main mod.

Main mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2884014979

Changes:
-Ainu becomes a centralized nation, a vassal of Japan. The centralized part is not historical, but Japan had economic control over the area historically, and decentralized nations cannot have diplomacy (I've tried).
-Ainu Mosir now controls the southern half of Sakhalin.
-Sakhalin controls Urup. Assuming Russia colonizes the Kurils, this would reflect 1855 borders.
-Ainu starts with some techs and some fishing wharves.
-The random island NE of Formosa (no clue which island it's supposed to represent) is now part of the Ryukyu state in Japan. No matter which island it's supposed to represent, it was historically part of the Ryukyu kingdom.
-A bugged pixel in province map (on Hokkaido) is fixed.

Compatibility:
Load this mod before other mods. The only vanilla file this changes is the province map which is not essential for this mod whatsoever, so it should be compatible with almost everything.

It's too far south and too big to be one of the Senkaku islands; it's definitely one of the Yaeyama islands. Probably just an amalgamation of all of them.

The island near Taiwan is most likely one of the Senkaku islands, and I believed they were given to the Qing Empire to allow the game to be published in China (no joke, senkaku are another heaten claim from the CCP)

@Spurdo Spärde Benis:DDDD
As in giving Ainu the part of the Kurils owned by Russia at game start?
It's a separate province in the state of Kamchatka, so I can't change it without modifying the entire vanilla state file, which totally destroys compatibility. I'll update the non-compatibility version, though.

Can you give them all of the Kuril Islands at the start?
