From: Jiho Lee <elmitash@gmail.com>

Note: This patch was previously sent to libc-locales by mistake. Resending to libc-alpha for review.

Update the South Korean (ko_KR) address format to follow the official
Large-to-Small hierarchy (Country, Postcode, City, Road, Recipient).
This aligns with the official addressing guidelines from Korea Post:
https://www.koreapost.go.kr/kpost/subIndex/135.do?pSiteIdx=125

    * localedata/locales/ko_KR (LC_ADDRESS): Update postal_fmt to
    standard Korean order.
