Summary0009530: Support both BBAN and IBAN input for IBAN payto [meta]
DescriptionIn some countries, such as Hungary, it is common practice to enter the BBAN to send money to another bank account in the same country. Wherever we accept an IBAN, we should also accept a BBAN and a country (would be ideal to guess the country from the platform info), and the wallet should generate the IBAN.

IBAN = Country + BBAN
so we can theoretically accept BBAN everywhere where we ask for IBAN + a country flag (default user preference, and user preference default to platform)

This can also apply when rendering IBANs
bank ui, merchant backoffice and wallet

No, IBAN = Country (2 letters) + Checksum (2 digits) + country-specific code.
Before the introduction of the IBAN, in Germany we had the Bankleitzahl (bank number, 8 digits) and the Kontonummer (account number, 10 digits). Thus now a german IBAN is DE plus 2+8+10=20 digits.
In Austria, the BLZ (Bankleitzahl) had only 5 digits, but the account number had 11. Thus an austrian IBAN is AT plus 2+5+11=18 digits.

How this needs to proceed is:

* I write a tiny DD with details we discussed
* wallet-core gets an implementation of the small-but-not-super-trivial HU BBAN->IBAN conversion (as a new wallet-core request)
* we pass it on to the wallet devs
