/**
 * Validates if a Brazilian license plate (placa de carro ou moto) is valid.
 *
 * Supports the old Brazilian format (ABC-1234) and the Mercosul format (ABC1D23), the single
 * sequence Resolução CONTRAN nº 969/2022 defines for every vehicle, motorcycles included.
 * Accepts the usual mask characters (hyphens, spaces) and is case-insensitive, mirroring
 * `getFormatLicensePlate`/`parseLicensePlate` (single source of truth for the supported
 * formats).
 *
 * @param {string} value - The license plate value to be validated.
 * @returns {boolean} True if the license plate is valid, false otherwise.
 *
 * @example
 * ```typescript
 * isValidLicensePlate("abc1234"); // true (Brazilian format)
 * isValidLicensePlate("ABC-1234"); // true (Brazilian format with hyphen)
 * isValidLicensePlate("ABC 1234"); // true (whitespace mask)
 * isValidLicensePlate("abc1d23"); // true (Mercosul format)
 * isValidLicensePlate("ABC12D3"); // false (not a Mercosul sequence)
 * isValidLicensePlate("ABC1234EXTRA"); // false (too many characters)
 * isValidLicensePlate("invalid"); // false
 * ```
 *
 * The resolution's own text does not spell the sequence out: art. 2º § 2º delegates the
 * technical specification to Anexo I, whose item 1.2 reads "O padrão de estampagem é composto de
 * 7 (sete) caracteres alfanuméricos, em alto relevo, na sequência LLLNLNN" and whose item 1.2.1
 * reads `L` as a letter and `N` as a numeral. Art. 2º § 1º puts a single rear plate of that same
 * standard on motorcycles and similar vehicles, and art. 2º § 3º describes the old `AAA-1111`
 * PNU it coexists with. The annexes are published in a PDF of their own, cited below alongside
 * the resolution's text.
