Internationalize phone numbers

[johnnyshields]

• All phone inputs should use: https://github.com/jackocnr/intl-tel-input
• Phone numbers should be stored in and validated as E.164 format, e.g. "+12061234567" for a US phone number.
• Existing phone data which doesn't start with a plus should be displayed as is, and the user should see a message "please migrate your phone data to E.164 format"

I like the control, but that's going to be a lot of data migration for a lot of people, some who would only do business within their own country. When this lands, we'll want a lot of data migration helpers/rake tasks/etc to make it as painless as possible

Agree. Could we make it an optional extra that can be turned on? I can see it being very useful for some but not all.

@CloCkWeRX @steveyken it's a best practice to store all phone numbers in the DB as E.164 format (we can add a seperate "phone_extension" field as extensions aren't included in E.164)

I'm fine add a "international phone" option in the settings but I think it should be set to true for newly created apps when you run "ffcrm:setup"
