normal_zip

Return consistent version US ZIP codes using <code>stringr::str_*()</code> functions.
Non-number characters are removed, strings are padded with zeroes on the
left, and ZIP+4 suffixes are removed. Invalid ZIP codes from a vector can be
removed as well as single (repeating) character strings.
