Serbian Postal Codes Use 6 Digit Regex Validation when should use 5

[DanielAlt]

Hey, Me again, your postal code friend.

My Serbians are reporting issues with our Postal Code Validator. According to them, (and this wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_codes_in_Serbia), their postal code should consist of 5 Digits. We validate against 6.

PR incoming.

As the Wikipedia article states:

A six-digit postcode format has been in place since 1 January 2005

Since no transition period was defined and the 5-digit format is still rather common, the 6-digit format is not "invalid" and validation should pass both formats.

I suggest you replace the Regex by "/^(\d{5,6})$/" to cover both occurences.

This has been fixed on branch 2.3. It will be available on the next release.
