handle IMEIs shorter than 15 digits

IMEIs are 15 digits and IMEI-SVs are 16 digits (3GPP TS 23.003, clause 6.2), anything else is not a valid IMEI. However, somehow 14 digit values are observed in the wild. Make sure that encoder/decoder handles them, so that higher levels can deal with the values.
