Better identification of major-customer-addresses

Improve valdidation for major customer addresses if the postalcode is ambiguous. If the postalcode is ambiguous the address-type is decided by the locality. If the locality is not an IDENTIFIED, then the delivery-address will be returned otherwise the major-customer-address.

User input Validation result Description Addresstype

locality: Luzern 1
postalcode: 6000
street: Bahnhofstrasse

locality: Luzern
postalcode: 6000
street: Bahnhofstrasse

In this case the locality didn’t match unambiguously a major-customer-address, so the delivery-address will be returned

delivery-address

postalcode: 6000
street: Bahnhofstrasse

locality: Luzern 16
postalcode: 6000
