Adds or overrides postal-code mask patterns keyed by country code.
Built-in: ~50 countries keyed by ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 (GB, with UK kept
as an alias). Countries with no postal-code system (HK, AE, ...) are
intentionally absent.
A | in a pattern declares alternates picked by input length (the GB
entry: A0A 0AA|AA0 0AA|...).
Resolved against the lazily-loaded built-in table merged with
config.zipPatterns; an unknown region falls back to 00000.
Consumer entries merge per key and win on collision.
