Support state_code in results from db-ip.com

[adamalbrecht]

Currently, the state_code method on a result from db-ip.com returns the full state name. But the data returned from their API actually does include a 2 character state code, under stateProvCode.

Here is a sample query that I just performed:

irb(main):005:0> results = Geocoder.search("96.27.101.109")
irb(main):006:0> results[0].state_code
=> "Ohio"
irb(main):007:0> results[0].data['stateProvCode']
=> "OH"

Thanks for this! The weird thing is that I can't find any mention of stateProvCode in their documentation. I'm going to write to them to see if I can get an API key to try it out. Which plan are you using?

I noticed the same lack of documentation, but it's definitely there.

Our account page says that we have a "Lite with Basic API" account.

From customer support: "The stateProvCode response field is indeed a recent addition to our API services and it will be added to the documentation with our next website update. When available the field is populated with the state or province ISO 3166-2 code."

Thanks @adamalbrecht.
