Katie Smith 11a6c8cfb5 Update SMS sender validation to reject senders starting with 00 ...

Having SMS senders that start with 00 can cause issues with Firetext due
to Firetext's validation rules, so we shouldn't allow SMS senders to start
with 00.

Firetext treats a double 00 at the start of the senderID as an international
prefix, so removes them. A sender of 00447876574016 would become 447876574016.

Under Firetext's validation rules, an SMS sender of five 0s (00000) would
become  4400. This is because the first 00 are removed (as the international
prefix). The third 0 is seen as the start of a phone number, and becomes 44,
leaving the final 00 = 4400.
