a patch for CYXD removal

Edmonton Municipal CYXD weather station is not in an operation anymore but apparently preferred for applications using libgweather.  This is causing failures as no information can be retrieved.  When removed from Locations then Edmonton Namao, CYED, is consulted instead and things work again.

There exists Edmonton Blatchford, CXEC, in roughly the same location as an old CYXD but this station does not provide a weather condition information and only temperature data so it is not a suitable replacement.

A proper solution seems to be just to remove CYXD from Locations as in an attached patch (tested with 3.18.x and 3.20.x after METAR retrieval code was updates as per bug #770321)

PING!  libgweather-3.20.4 still has "Edmonton Municipal" in Locations.xml.in.  This weather station DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE.

Edmonton Municipal CYXD weather station is not in an operation anymore.
Edmonton Blatchford, CXEC, is in roughly the same location as an old
CYXD but this station does not provide a weather condition information
and only temperature data so it is not a suitable replacement.

Use CYED and CYEG instead.
