Additionals: Updates to postalCodeCA method

Allow both upper case and lower case characters and zero or more spaces between the Forward Sorting Area and Local Delivery Unit portions as users do not always use all upper case or include a space (see wet-boew/wet-boew#6760).

Correct the regular expression to fail entries that include invalid characters D, F, I, O, Q, and U which are not used in Canadian postal codes.
