Metadata changes:
-- Drops the "-1" that was erroneously included in possible lengths before (didn't break anything, but was wrong) - it was a possibleLength of a sub-component so got added to the generalDesc possibleLengths
-- possibleNumberPattern no longer inherited: we don't use this anyway, we will do another CL soon to stop including it at all in the generated metadata
-- exampleNumber is no longer set on fixed-line and mobile elements from the generalDesc
XML file changes:
-- Stopped specifying "NA" and "-1" specifically for fixed-line and mobile blocks; now they are treated as every other type of phone number: if missing, don't fill them in from generalDesc, but leave them missing.
Code changes:
-- Stop using the exampleNumber on generalDesc for non-geo entities, but look at their phonenumber descs - the exampleNumber won't be stored on the generalDesc anymore. This affects porters if they either copied our build logic or used our built metadata in some way; they should update this method in their port too.
Code changes:
* Phonemetadata.java has two more fields to represent possible lengths of phone numbers. Changed BuildMetadataFromXml (and the resultant jar) to alter the way that metadata about possible-lengths information is consumed when constructing metadata to populate these. Discussion list email: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/libphonenumber-discuss/75TOpTFVi08
Metadata changes:
* Updated phone metadata for region code(s): AG, AM, AX, BY, CD, FI, IN, KR, MA, NA, NL, PK, SY
* Updated short number metadata for region code(s): BR, GB, NL, NZ
* New geocoding data for country calling code(s): 82 (pl, pt, ro, ru, sl, sr, uk, vi)
* Updated carrier data for country calling code(s): 27 (en), 91 (en), 243 (en), 963 (en)

* Initial code changes to support the new possibleLengths infrastructure
when building metadata. Includes setting these in the main metadata
file and changing the code to populate them in the PhoneMetadata proto
at build time. Updating tests for Java.
* Updating comment about the possible_lengths_local_only field.
* Adding the generated jars that build files containing the new possible
lengths fields.
* Rebuilding short-number metadata with the new proto field. Not doing
this at release time so we can see what changes in the metadata are due
to metadata fixes, rather than this possibleLengths field.
* Regeneration of phone number metadata with the new possible length
information filled in.
Includes some possible length changes for KR and BY, and a validation
fix for NA where a digit was missing.
* Updating the test proto metadata files with the new possible length
information.
* Added notes about the code changes.
* Regenerating C++ metadata with new possibleLength info and updating unit
test to check this works.
