🤖 suggested review level: 5 Inspect 🔬 migration + param handling across 7 forms (public, registrant, admin)

Registrants licensed outside the USA couldn't enter their state or province — every state field was a US-only dropdown, and a saved non-US value rendered blank so the next save wiped it.

• "Outside USA?" — a native <details> link under each state dropdown; opens a Province / State box. No JS, no page reload, nothing else on the form lost.
• Typed value wins over the dropdown when filled. Opens automatically on a saved value the dropdown can't show.
• Licenses get issuing_country (new nullable column, no backfill). Shown as "Ontario, Canada".
• Where: person edit licenses + addresses, CE callout on the ticket, admin license + CE registration pages, work-address change request, and every _state question on public/registration/callout forms.
• Gotcha: public-form state selects are no longer browser-required — someone abroad leaves the dropdown blank. Server-side required validation still runs on the merged answer.
• ce_license_picker (existing controller) now fills the box + country when switching licenses.
• Paired country questions: a form's <prefix>_country question now sits inside its <prefix>_state question's box.
  • US registrants never open it, so a blank paired country beside a US state saves as "United States".
  • The registration CE section gains "In which country was your license issued?". Smart field settings documents both endings.
  • Still listed as its own answer on the submission views — only the form hides it.
• Licenses index: a new Location filter matches the issuing state/province/country or the holder's city/state.
• Prod: existing forms need the CE country question added. A console script (DRY_RUN) is in the session notes.
• Dev seed: the flagship's Feedback surveys callout now delivers a short post-event survey with a state question, so callout forms are testable from any flagship ticket.
