[Koha] regex to put space between the classification number and author letters

[David Liddle]

Lauren, I don't know if you got a direct personal answer to this, but
having tried my hand at the question at https://regex101.com/, the
following regular expression matches your samples:

(.?[0-9]{3})([A-Z]{2})

and the following inserts a space in the correct position:

$1 $2
