Rename H3 proposed subclades
Rename H3 subclade proposals for J.2 to use amino acid substitutions instead of single-letter suffixes.

How useful is it to rename these now. when I was proposing to go with amino acid patterns, I was thinking to track haplotypes instead of clades. I'd suggest to revisit this in a few weeks and pick proper subclades.
It's probably not useful now. Generally, I just need a way to quickly annotate proposed subclade annotations through Nextclade for the two frequency estimation methods we're using now. In the current approach, I have to update influenza-clade-nomenclature, update-merge-release the Nextclade dataset, and rerun Nextclade annotations. If we're concerned about updating the official flu Nextclade datasets with PRs like this, I could maintain separate parallel datasets just for proposed subclades.
