[CQ-Contest] [N1MM] New RAC (ARRL contest) sections

[Radio K0HB]

SweepStakes has always used Sections for mults.

Other ARRL tests (ARRL-DX and NAQP come to mind) use states, provinces/territories.

RAC contests have never used sections that I can recall.

Your cause for concern eludes me, as I find particular reason to abandon those conventions.
