check_vat() raises an exception when the given VAT does not start with a country code

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,

With the latest revision:

>>> from vatnumber import check_vat
>>> check_vat('12347')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File ".../vatnumber/__init__.py", line 1168, in check_vat
KeyError: 'check_vat_12'

I think that 'check_vat' should not raise any exception and rather return 
"False". The attached patch implements this new behaviour (with an additional 
test).

I understand that the current behaviour may be wanted to indicate that there is 
no VATIN checker for a particular country, but I nonetheless think that this is 
unfortunate.

Looks good.
You can provide a patch by exporting from hg like that you will be the author 
of the changeset.

Here attached is the output of "hg export". I have also made a clone 
(http://code.google.com/r/damienbaty-isssue-10/source/checkout) if it is easier 
for you. (I'll delete it when the issue is closed.)
