UI: display recipient/sender phone type in SMS/Call history view

Currently, in SMS view, it is unclear to what phone number (or type) SMS will be sent. It's pretty obvious if recipient has only one phone number. But if recipient has several numbers - you had to explicitly set correct phone type with "change type" button to be sure that you are sending to the right phone number.

Same goes to SMS history. You can't say to what number (again, in the case where recipient has several numbers) SMS were sent or from what number it was received.

So my suggestion is to display phone type in the same string where SMS date stamp is displayed. And also make "change type" button to display currently selected phone type instead of "change type" text.

Nearly the same thing is with call history. Call history doesn't distinguish contact's different phone types, merging everything in one record. And sometimes it is important to know when calls were made for each type of contact's phone numbers. So such records should be separated and each call history record should show correct phone type.

And also make "change type" button to display currently selected phone type instead of "change type" text.text. In case of separate SMS logs for each phone type - "change type" button is not needed at all.
