What does this change

This improves the realism of company names generated for the ko_KR locale.
Replaces last_name-based company name formats with more natural Korean naming patterns
Adds company_name_words (e.g., "미래", "한빛", "코리아") and company_name_suffixes (e.g., "테크", "소프트") for constructing company names

What was wrong

The original Korean company names were generated using combinations of Korean last names (e.g., {{last_name}}{{last_name}}), which resulted in highly unnatural outputs like: (주) 김박김
Such combinations do not reflect how real Korean company names are structured.

How this fixes it

By introducing a curated list of real-sounding company name roots and suffixes, and updating the formats accordingly, the generated company names now resemble realistic Korean business names.
Examples after this change: (주) 미래소프트, 주식회사 브레인랩스, 유한회사 코리아시스템
Fixes #2229
