IBAN object cannot be deepcopied

[Lexi]

Currently, when trying a copy.deepcopy() on an IBAN object, an exception is raised. This can happen for example when deepcopying a dictionary that contains an IBAN object.

A simple copy() works perfectly fine, it even returns a new instance:

>>> from schwifty import IBAN
>>> import copy
>>> 
>>> iban = IBAN('DE91100000000123456789')
>>> iban
<IBAN=DE91100000000123456789>
>>> 
>>> iban_copy = copy.copy(iban)
>>> id(iban), id(iban_copy)
(125298528552432, 125298507391216)

However, a deepcopy() results in the following exception:

>>> iban_deepcopy = copy.deepcopy(iban)
Traceback (most recent call last):

    return cls.__new__(cls, *args)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: BBAN.__new__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'value'

I've tested this on the latest version of schwifty (2024.6.1) and Python 3.12.4.

Adding the following implementation for __deepcopy__ to the BBAN class seems to fix the issue. However, I'm not sure if this is the best solution or if that implementation should be done in the common.Base class.

def __deepcopy__(self, memo):
    cls = type(self)
    return cls(str(self.country_code), str(self))

@binaryDiv Thanks for the heads-up! I added a corresponding implementation to the common.Base-class.
