Revision notes

• processing_basis replaced by consent_obtained_flag plus processing_exception: Argentine law is consent-based with statutory exceptions.
• eu_adequacy_transfer_flag removed: describes EU/UK basis for sending data to Argentina, not an Argentine domestic law obligation.
• international_transfer_exception enum added.
