redundant fields in Order class

[hexfusion]

We have multiple fields in Order that are redundant due to other classes. I think these should be removed as they can promote underutilization of existing classes, stale data and confusion.

payment_method, payment_number and payment_status. This data should be properly stored in PaymentOrder class.

shipping_method we have a whole series of shipment classes.

Data storage imo should be standardized. Allowing "simple" alternative methods for storage will only hurt a cart in regards to long term scalability and data accuracy. I guess I am looking for a reason why these should stay.

Can you please add the redundant fields?

payment_status, payment_method, and payment_number all can have multiple values for a single order. So defining them with a single field imo is wrong.

@SysPete I think methods to return these values might be more useful then these actual fields.
