Variants now support multiple barcodes

Breaking / action requiredDeprecationEffective n/a

Merchants often sell the same variant under more than one identifier: a manufacturer UPC alongside a private-label EAN, a GTIN, a reissued ISBN, or an ASIN for a marketplace listing. Until now a variant held a single barcode value, so the extras ended up in metafields, tags, or outside Shopify entirely.
