compareFrenchAddressesfunction
Compares two addresses in France field by field: the delivery point, the building, the number and its extension, the
type and name of the street, the lieu-dit, the box, the commune and the postcode. Letter case, accents, hyphens, a
type of voie abbreviated (av., bd) and St for Saint are not differences. The CEDEX and the department are
left out: the postcode already says them.
