Maybe revisit bounding box for MTS

@eliblock pointed this location out in Discord:

Our bounding box is pretty big, since we're including all states and territories. I wonder if we can make it a bit better?

For reference, we use https://github.com/CAVaccineInventory/vaccine-feed-ingest/blob/f40525632dc4f9a9b8d6371903020079e0783a9e/vaccine_feed_ingest/utils/validation.py#L19-L28, but this excludes Guam.

It may not be possible to improve, which is fine. But figured I'd capture this, let us re-think or discuss, and can always just close it out if it's not reasonable 😃

I'm not an expert on MTS, but just by looking at the docs, it doesn't seem like we can include/exclude countries since the function expects southwest and northeast coordinates to draw a bounding box. I'm curious how you were thinking about ways we could make it better?
