Replace isValid() calls with assert()
There's more value on showing how `assert()` displays the validation
messages than simply showing if `isValid()` returns `true` or `false`.

However, that increases the chances of having outdated documentation, so
I created a doc linter that updates the Markdown files with the
correct message.

# PostalCode
- `PostalCode(string $countryCode)`
- `PostalCode(string $countryCode, bool $formatted)`
Validates whether the input is a valid postal code or not.
```php
v::postalCode('BR')->assert('02179000');
// Validation passes successfully
v::postalCode('BR')->assert('02179-000');
// Validation passes successfully
v::postalCode('US')->assert('02179-000');
// → "02179-000" must be a valid postal code on "US"
v::postalCode('US')->assert('55372');
// Validation passes successfully
v::postalCode('PL')->assert('99-300');
// Validation passes successfully
```
By default, `PostalCode` won't validate the format (puncts, spaces), unless you pass `$formatted = true`:
```php
v::postalCode('BR', true)->assert('02179000');
// → "02179000" must be a valid postal code on "BR"
v::postalCode('BR', true)->assert('02179-000');
// Validation passes successfully
```
Message template for this validator includes `{{countryCode}}`.
