fix: Extend phone number normalization to Twilio WhatsApp (#12655)

### Problem
WhatsApp Cloud channels already handle Brazil/Argentina phone number
format mismatches (PRs #12492, #11173), but Twilio WhatsApp channels
were creating duplicate contacts
  when:
  - Template sent to new format: `whatsapp:+5541988887777` (13 digits)
  - User responds from old format: `whatsapp:+554188887777` (12 digits)

### Solution

The solution extends the existing phone number normalization
infrastructure to support both WhatsApp providers while handling their
different payload formats:

  ### Provider Format Differences
  - **WhatsApp Cloud**: `wa_id: "919745786257"` (clean number)
- **Twilio WhatsApp**: `From: "whatsapp:+919745786257"` (prefixed
format)
  
  
 ### Test Coverage

#### Brazil Phone Number Tests
  **Case 1: New Format (13 digits with "9")**
- **Test 1**: No existing contact → Creates new contact with original
format
- **Test 2**: Contact exists in same format → Appends to existing
conversation

  **Case 2: Old Format (12 digits without "9")**
- **Test 3**: Contact exists in old format → Appends to existing
conversation
- **Test 4** *(Critical)*: Contact exists in new format, message in old
format → Finds existing contact, prevents duplicate
- **Test 5**: No contact exists → Creates new contact with incoming
format

#### Argentina Phone Number Tests
  **Case 3: With "9" after country code**
  - **Test 6**: No existing contact → Creates new contact
- **Test 7**: Contact exists in normalized format → Uses existing
contact

  **Case 4: Without "9" after country code**
  - **Test 8**: Contact exists in same format → Appends to existing
  - **Test 9**: No contact exists → Creates new contact
