This PR checks to see if a postcode contains whitespace, if it does, then it indexes:

an abbreviation of the postcode entry which contains no whitespace

Note: this PR is paired with: https://github.com/pelias/whosonfirst/pull/369

We can't look up postalcodes in wof-admin-lookup/pip-service since many postalcodes are not geometries. so I don't think this is relevant. We should look into similar logic in OA and OSM importers though.
