When the phone number lookup settings were enabled the app was leaking
private information. To prevent that, the following commits in
vendor/cmsdk disabled it by default and made sure that the settings
were switched back to disabled:

de9e5b0 Disable phone number lookup by default for privacy
2d8ae47 Disable phone number lookup settings during upgrade

This change removes the phone number lookup service from the graphical
interface as well. If we wouldn't remove it then users could still
enable it without understanding that it leaks private information to
third parties.
