perf: replaces list of postcodes in ja/address.yml with a 7-digit format
Removes the full list of japanese postcodes in favor or a simple 7-digit format: "###-####". The reason is for performance, as generating a postcode in this locale was very expensive. Japanese postal codes were changed from a pattern to a list of real postal codes, introduced in #2297. The problem is that when running Faker on `locale = 'ja'`, about 60% of the time to load and call `Address#postalcode` is spent reading and parsing the [ja/address.yml](https://github.com/faker-ruby/faker/blob/main/lib/locales/ja/address.yml) file, which has 2.2mb. Benchmark: ``` Postcode - Smaller Address File: 1.2 i/s Postcode: 0.7 i/s - 1.65x slower 1.34 s/i vs 811.55 ms/i ```
