Output restrictions:
- Rows are extended with status, city or town, district, federal
state, and KGS.
- For invalid ZIP codes status is set to "unknown" (field contains
five digit number which was not recognised as valid ZIP code)
or "invalid", the other fields remain empty.
- For unique ZIP codes, the status is set to "ok".
- For ambiguous ZIP codes, the status is set to "ambiguous"; in
that case the remaining data refers to one of the cities or towns that
this ZIP code belongs to.
