#2498
Description:
Restore patterns rather than fictional list as this does not provide sufficient unique cases when testing exclusively Australian numbers. Restrict the set to 040-043 numbers as these ranges are fully allocated and will not generate errors (044-049 can generate errors if using phonelib for validation should the number fall in "spare" ranges).
The use of patterns to define valid numbers is inline with other countries in Faker (e.g. US or NZ). The restriction of Australia to fictional numbers seems to be an outlier.
