#11657 Fix VIES integrity check: tolerate country-code prefix on echoed VAT number (uptake fix)

The VIES integrity check for VAT numbers now tolerates country-code prefixes in echoed responses, normalizing both sides before comparison to prevent false rejection of valid VAT numbers during registration.

What changed

  • Fixed a regression where VIES responses that echo the VAT number with its country-code prefix were wrongly rejected as mismatches
  • Both the request and response numbers are stripped of the prefix before the integrity check compares them
  • Removes the hard block on saving a VAT Registration No., because the check runs in its OnValidate
  • Numbers or countries that really differ are still rejected
  • Fixes 10 failing tests in codeunit 134192, which run only in NAV uptake with a mock service
  • Behaviour changes for users or extensions.
