PayPal Tracking Update

On June 26th PayPal finally added the ability for tracking to be uploaded through their API.

This is something that has been requested for years, I have no idea why it has taken them until mid-2019 to offer it.

Anyway, now that the feature exists it would be great if the TB PayPal module sent tracking details to PayPal when they are added to the TB site.

BTW, it would be ideal if there was an option to disable this, even if it is a hidden option in the db settings table. There will always be some people (like me...) who prefer to synchronize directly with PayPal through the API ourselves.

Hmm. I wonder how we can handle that. We would ideally need to map carriers I guess in the module. And dang they have a huge list.

That certainly makes it a messier proposition. Just figured I'd throw the idea out there since it is such a long-awaited API feature that arrived relatively recently.

It looks like a great idea for an update to the module, I am just not sure how we would handle the carrier mapping. It currently looks like it supports like 613 carriers. That would be a pain to keep updated or to map carriers against.
