RATIONALE
Simplify field management for mail / phone / sms flows. Make it working out
of the box, easier to use and tweak.
SPECIFICATIONS
Add a '_phone_format' tool method on BaseModel. It allows to format a number
either directly, either from a field available on the model. It allows to
ease number formatting. It uses available helpers to find numbers using
'_phone_get_number_fields' and '_phone_get_country_field'. With default
generic behavior this allows to simplify most calls to phone number formatting.
Having it available at BaseModel level allows to remove some custom code,
calls to phone_validation API, ...

Support by default 'phone' and 'mobile' fields if present on model as phone
fields to fetch when searching for a number. This allows to remove several
of unnecessary overrides always doing the same thing.

RATIONALE
Simplify field management for mail / phone / sms flows. Make it working out
of the box, easier to use and tweak.
SPECIFICATIONS
Move 'mail' and 'phone_validation' helpers directly at model level, allowing
to rely on those methods in all models instead of only when inheriting from
'mail.thread' or 'mail.thread.phone'.
Those helpers are used to find primary email, phone numbers or customers in
flows involving sending emails or SMS. A default behavior exists that is
generally valid for most models. Method can then be overridden to implement
their own custom behavior.
Future commits will improve them and remove duplicated computation between
mail, phone_validation, mass_mailing and sms modules.
