Adds the Japanese community survey to the repo — a README and the response data, split across two CSVs.

This replaces #273, which was opened directly against upstream with the raw, unsplit response data (full timestamps, all answers joined per row, including open-ended free text). That's a re-identification risk for a 114-response survey, so this PR anonymizes the data before it goes in:

  • japanese-community-survey-demographics.csv — who-they-are fields (region, team type, company size, industry, vendor), with the timestamp reduced to day-only granularity (no time-of-day)
  • japanese-community-survey-substance.csv — OTel usage/opinion fields (familiarity, signals, collector distro, languages, NPS, adoption barriers, events, info sources, vendor), with no timestamp at all

The vendor question is intentionally duplicated in both files to allow filtering on it in either context. Row order between the two files is independently shuffled, so a respondent's row in one file can't be matched to their row in the other by position. All free-text open-ended answers were dropped entirely, since they carried the highest re-identification risk. The original unsplit CSV is not included.

#273 should be closed once this merges.

Splits responses into demographics and substance CSVs (no open-ended
free text, no full timestamp) so individual rows cannot be joined
back into a single respondent record.

Long overdue I created a new PR for this that should solve the issues @ymotongpoo raised.

@danielgblanco I added you as a reviewer since you commented in the previous PR. Please take a look. I think it should be OK now.

@AndrejKiri Thanks, Andrej. Now I think it got anonymized enough to publish.
