Closes #8 Closes #41, Closes #44

This adds a fallback mechanism for data sources, in case the main GeoNames server is temporarly not available. By default the secondary fallback URL is a mirror on GitHub https://symerio.github.io/postal-codes-data/

This also adds support for data sources with plain (non zipped) .txt files.
