- make them more consistent with each other
- explain why the empty string is sometimes returned when geocoding

* [maven-release-plugin] prepare release v8.3.1

* [maven-release-plugin] prepare for next development iteration

Fix for getNationalSignificantNumber to be robust in the face of malicious input (negative number of leading zeros in the phone number proto).

* [maven-release-plugin] prepare release v8.3.0

* [maven-release-plugin] prepare for next development iteration

* isNumberMatch fix for numbers with italian leading zero fields set. Only
affects people who haven't correctly constructed phone numbers using
methods like 'parse'.
* Adding C++ tests and fixing bug in ExactlySameAs method, which wasn't
updated to handle the number_of_leading_zeros field when that was added
to the phone number proto.

See pending_code_changes.txt for more details.

- Adding new enums IS_POSSIBLE_LOCAL_ONLY and INVALID_LENGTH for
ValidationResult, to be later returned by IsPossibleWithReason.
- Documenting existing enum values better.

* Make normalizeDiallableCharsOnly public and port it to javascript,
making use of it in the code in parallel places to the Java
implementation.

This excludes editing the proto file itself, or the auto-generated or hand-crafted fields that are derived from it.

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.

Using new possible length information to calculate whether a short
number is the right length or not. This made us realise that the data
was missing for MY; this was added.
