Description
The
CommunicationIdentifier
design provides a good abstraction of Azure Communication Services internal id format with better type safety, auto-complete and hides internal knowledge.However, it doesn't lend well to storing identifiers in a database or using them as keys because there is no clear canonical way how to encode them. This PR introduces translation functions that lets developers use the underlying raw ID for these purposes.

This PR closely follows the already merged JS PR, but diverges in two points:
raw_id
property. This PR just makes sure that property is populated on construction of the object.CommunicationIdentifierKind
structured type in python.No REST changes.
