Change term "Address" => "Location"

We have noticed that many cases people are filling the "Address" field for proposals but they are not writing a proper proposal address there. Instead, they write either their email address or their own home address there.

To fix this usability issue, we suggest the following:
- Change the term "Address" to "Location"
- Change the checkbox "Has address" to "This proposal has a location"

Some people have suggested that the address field would not be a field that the users need to fill but instead, it would be a map where they can just click the position to. This would possibly make it even clearer that they need to pinpoint the location for the *proposal* itself.

This fingerprint is calculated using a SHA256 hashing algorithm. In order to replicate it yourself, you can use an MD5 calculator online and copy-paste the source data.

I support this, as users don't always submit an address but just a city or a neighbourhood.
