e164PhoneNumber() generates invalid US Phone Numbers about faker HOT 4 CLOSED

@RPJamie @bramceulemans According to Wikipedia, +1 (620) 085-8074 is invalid because 085 is an invalid Central Office code - they may not start with 0 or 1. What is more, the last 2 digits of Central Office code may not be 11. These rules raise the complexity of E164 number faking dramatically and personally I don't think it's worth keeping it 100% compliant but PRs are welcome 😉

I'm not sure I understand, from my understanding phone numbers can start with a + followed by a country code.

@IonBazan this is a simple check and anyway the code is already in place. In Faker\Provider\en_US\PhoneNumber simply change the format string to include the exchange code placeholder.

protected static $e164Formats = [
    '+1{{areaCode}}{{exchangeCode}}####',
];

None of the other en_US phone number formatters have this problem, just the e164 one.

Happy to create a PR if needed to fix this one LOC.
