New legal_form_name field in Company Verification

Company Verification now returns the company's legal form, in a new legal_form_name field.

The field sits in company_information.legal_form, next to code and description:

"legal_form": {
  "legal_form_name": "SAS, société par actions simplifiée",
  "code": "6CHY",
  "description": "SAS, société par actions simplifiée"
}

It is returned everywhere Company Verification data is returned:

legal_form_name is always present and can be null, when the registry does not provide a local legal form name. It is also null for verifications created before this release and for anonymized verifications.

Company Registry Verification in Germany

For Germany, code is a national legal form code (for example 3116), not an ISO 20275 (ELF) code. Use legal_form_name to read the legal form of a German company. For every other country, code remains an ISO 20275 code.

Nothing changes in the request, and no existing field was removed or renamed.
