Confirmed metadata issues

This list is exhaustive: every issue confirmed, by reading its actual resolution, to be a report about upstream Google libphonenumber metadata (a prefix, numbering plan, or country code) rather than this port's code. There is no separate "not metadata" list — absence from this file is the negative signal.

This list is kept up to date automatically: when the triage workflow closes a new issue as a metadata issue, it opens a PR appending it here.
