What do we place in `address? Is it only building address, or full address?

I think building/apt/suite numbers are typically separate optional fields in address forms. Maybe we should also have a separate field so we don't have this ambiguity?

The primary use of SEP-9 fields has been for collecting information on users of Stellar-based applications, including both KYC data and off-chain financial account data.
However, SEP-9 was also intended to be used by organizations to provide information to their users. This is particularly relevant in the context of SEP-6, where organizations need to provide off-chain financial account information to their customers in order for customers to fund their deposit transactions.
This PR clarifies the set of fields that can be used by applications such as anchors to both request that information from customers and provide that information to customers.
Unrelatedly, it also makes formatting changes for improved readability.
