Allow admins to disable address search and force Enter address without search when adding a new address

The address search for NZ is absolutely terrible and does not provide addresses in the correct format for NZ Post putting our mailing discounts at risk (we need 95% accuracy for full discounts). The search also adds bad data to the NZ Suburb and NZ City tables.

Please let us turn it off and force users to enter an address manually and hopefully they will follow our procedures and check it on the NZ Post website first.

It is hard for staff to remember NOT to use a feature that is supposed to make their lives easier, but acutally reduces data quality.
