This PR completely overhauls the handling of postcodes:
place_postcodeinstead of theplacetable. This allows to get rid of a lot of special handling in the update triggers.location_postcodestable now collects precise postcode areas (from relations) as well as guessed postcodes from postcode attributes. Theplacextable no longer contains any postcode areas at all. This allows to remove even more special casing during indexing.Migration for this change is rather complex. The new postcode table is now called
location_postcodesto make it easier to migrate from the oldlocation_postcodewithout any downtime. Nonetheless it is recommended to put the server offline when doing the migration.Closes #3882.
