Change residence annotation to a lookup list #75

Currently the residence (Street name and house number) is annotated using a regular expression according the Dutch convention (Dorpstraat 2) and with a postfix of common Dutch locations; such as -straat, -hof or -laan. Note however that there are a large number of residences in the Netherlands which do not match that pattern e.g. Nijenheim 22-20. Moreover foreign (ie. non-Dutch) residences are not found using such a regurlar expression e.g. '221b Baker Street '.
A proposed solution is to replace the reg-exp with a lookup list. This list can consist of the intersection of a list generated from an EHR (Electronic Heath Record) system and a list of all street names in the geographical region where patients live (e.g. the Netherlands or Europe).
A possible source of Dutch street names is the Kadaster - Basisregistratie Adressen en Gebouwen (BAG) or PostNL

All Dutch streets from BAG have been added in #111. For now I don't think there are a lot of users that would require non-Dutch streets, although anyone is free to add them in custom processors.
