Implement additional address and identification fields for both sender
and receiver across the WordPress plugin and Laravel API. This includes
state, postal code, and national ID/passport information.
Key changes:
- Added database migration to include postal and national ID fields in
the shipments table.
- Updated WordPress order form shortcodes and JavaScript to capture
new address fields.
- Refactored Laravel `CustomerOrderController` validation and storage
to support expanded shipment data.

owners/admins.

correctly select the appropriate shipping tier.
