Thank you for the review.
I’ve restored tests/providers/test_passport.py to its original state and removed the invalid update_provider_test.py file.
The PR now only contains Afghanistan locale providers and tests.

Afghanistan locale was missing in Faker.
This PR allows users to generate realistic Pashto and English data for testing and development.

All new files follow Faker’s provider and test conventions.
Afghan National ID (afghan_id) is fully configurable with separators (-, /, etc.) and validates with Luhn checksum.
