Normalizes a number, such that only numbers remain. Use before saving a normalized form into a database.
This will often raise an error if you try normalizing a non E164-izable number (a number that does not contain enough information to be normalized into an E164 conform number). Use Phony.plausible? for checking if it can be normalized first.
Example:
# No. Wrong. Nada.
Phony.normalize('364 35 33')
Always use it with a country code, as Phony needs it to know what country to normalize for:
Phony.normalize('41443643533').assert == '41443643533'
Phony.normalize('+41 44 364 35 33').assert == '41443643533'
Phony.normalize('+41 44 364 35 33').assert == '41443643533'
Phony.normalize('+41 800 11 22 33').assert == '41800112233'
Phony.normalize('John: +41 44 364 35 33').assert == '41443643533'
Phony.normalize('1 (703) 451-5115').assert == '17034515115'
Phony.normalize('1-888-407-4747').assert == '18884074747'

Phony.normalize('+41 (044) 364 35 33').assert == '41443643533'
Handles a cc.
Phony.normalize('+1 724 999 9999').assert == '17249999999'
Handles a cc with cc option.
Phony.normalize('+1 724 999 9999', cc: '1').assert == '17249999999'
Handles missing cc correctly.
Phony.normalize('(310) 555-2121', cc: '1').assert == '13105552121'

Phony.normalize('+49 (0) 209 22 33 44 55').assert == '4920922334455'
Handles a number with extra 0.
Phony.normalize('+49 0 209 22 33 44 55').assert == '4920922334455'
Phony.normalize('36 0630245506').assert == '360630245506'
Phony.normalize('370 8 5 1234567').assert == '370851234567'
Handles the Dutch number (without US cc) correctly.
Phony.normalize('310 5552121').assert == '315552121'
Phony.normalize('7 8 342 1234567').assert == '783421234567'
Phony.normalize('+881-321 5560 5220').assert == '88132155605220'

Phony.normalize('+390909709511').assert == '390909709511'
Handles completely crazy 'numbers'.
Phony.normalize('Hello, I am Cora, the 41th parrot of the United States, and 44 is my 364 times 35 funky number. 32.').assert == '41443643532'
