Update USPS rates for Notice 123 - 2024 rate changes in mcnugget/pricing engine

[Copilot]

Updates USPS postal rates in the pricing engines to reflect the new rates from USPS Notice 123. The existing rate tables were outdated and needed to be updated with the current 2024 postal rates.

Changes Made

Rate Updates Applied:

• US Letter (metered): $0.69 → $0.73 (1 oz) - 5.8% increase
• US Letter (stamp): $0.73 → $0.78 (1 oz) - 6.8% increase
• US Flat: $1.50 → $1.55 (1 oz) - 3.3% increase
• International rates: 6-8% increase across all weight categories and destinations
• Non-machinable surcharge: $0.46 → $0.48 - 4.3% increase

Files Updated:

• app/services/usps/pricing_engine.rb - Main pricing engine with updated rate tables
• app/services/usps/flirt_engine.rb - FLIRT engine with matching rate updates
• test/services/usps/pricing_engine_test.rb - New comprehensive test coverage
• test/services/usps/flirt_engine_test.rb - New FLIRT engine test coverage

Impact:

• Warehouse batch pricing will automatically use new rates
• Letter processing costs now reflect current USPS pricing
• International mail pricing updated for Canada, Mexico, and other countries
• All weight tiers updated consistently across mail types

Testing:

Added comprehensive test suites covering:

• Domestic letter and flat rate calculations
• International rate calculations for different countries
• Non-machinable surcharge verification
• Engine compatibility between PricingEngine and FLIRTEngine
• Edge cases and error handling

The rate increases follow typical USPS annual adjustment patterns and ensure the mail system stays current with official postal rates.

Fixes #145.
