Show or hide Bricks Builder elements by visitor country. Create localized, region-specific content easily

== Description ==

**Geo Targeting for Bricks Builder by Inspired Monks** adds a **Visitor Country** condition to any element in Bricks Builder, enabling geo-personalized visibility rules directly inside the builder.  
Perfect for global websites, localized campaigns, and region-specific compliance content.

The visitor’s country is detected using the **IPinfo Lite API (`/lite/me`)**, processed entirely on the **server-side**, ensuring privacy, accuracy, and SEO-friendliness.


**Use Cases**
✅ Show country-specific offers or banners  
✅ Hide services unavailable in certain regions  
✅ Create multi-regional landing pages  
✅ Add localized legal or compliance messages  

**Core Features**
- Add a **Visitor Country condition** (IN / NOT IN)
- Support for multiple countries
- **Fallback Country** if detection fails
- ✅ Always fresh location detection (no caching)
- ✅ Privacy-friendly (no cookies or tracking)
- ✅ SEO-safe (server-side rendering)

**Bricks Builder Enhancements**
- ✨ Copy/paste visibility rules between elements
- Inline condition badges inside the Bricks structure panel
- Settings integrated directly under **Bricks → Geo Rules**

- Each frontend page load where geo-conditions are used
- When the administrator uses the “Test Lookup” feature in settings
