[Imports] Address import for Allen County Indiana

[Mike H]

Max, I have spot checked the data and the only problems I was able to find
is in some places, mostly apartment complexes, there would be many
addresses on a single point. These points I'm just not importing, but I
will be saving them to a separate file, so the locations can be reviewed
and mapped at a later date.

For your second message, my understanding from reading the wiki is that the
address tags should contain the postal address, so that's what I'm using.
As far as zipcode boundaries go my understanding is that they aren't really
a thing except for the census bureau, and zipcodes are really just a
collection of points. For that reasoning, I think it's a good idea to have
them on address points, so that's why I have kept them in the import plan.
I'm not really sure if you had a question about that, but I hope that helps.

I forgot to provide a link to the sample data that was request earlier, so
you can find it here:
