- For this particular updater, a list of exceptions to the rules
downloaded by geonames is included in POSTAL_CODES_EXTRA, for
cases in which we seem to do better than geonames itself based
on previous user reports.
- Added an option to also validate formatting of the postal codes.
- Combined multiple PR bots into a single one.
Previously, we were loading country info from a JSON file. This
changes it to use PHP files instead. It also caches these resources
across calls avoiding these files to be loaded more than once
per process.
We currently use a GitHub action to automate updating this file.
That action has the ability to ignore making the PR if the file
didn't changed.
Having the version number, which changed a line, was causing
several useless PR.
Users can still check if Tld.php changed by seeing the git log,
and a manual note should be issued by the maintainer on the
CHANGELOG.md file when a release containing such changes is
made.
Since we already have that library as a dependency of our repository, it
makes sense to use it as a source of language codes instead of keeping a
list of currencies ourselves.

Since "sokil/php-isocodes" is a dependency of our repository already, it
makes sense to use it as a source of currency codes instead of keeping a
list of currencies ourselves.
By using that library, we can also validate currency codes using
different sets.

Inside the "data/" directory, we have files with lists of subdivisions
that need to be updated. We have to update them manually, or we automate
that task with a script and GitHub actions.
The two options are very time consuming and also not ideal. We don't
want to deal with that problem and, thinking that the user of this
library may want to show the data that we validate, we should create a
whole library to make it more usable.
The "sokil/php-isocodes" is a simple library that, even supports
translations. It's frequently updated and has gone to major performance
updates.
I am not fond of the idea of requiring an external library to install
Validation, as I have seen that gone wrong before [1]. Ideally, that
would be an optional dependency for people who would like to use those
rules, but to make that happen, we need to release a MAJOR version.

This commit will revert the update of subdivision codes [1] since the
way we store this data is very different from the merged branch.

To update the list of subdivisions, I decided to use the iso-codes [1]
instead of GeoNames [2] as it seems like that one is more often updated.
This commit will also create a Bash script to update that list in the
future.
