New Zealand uses addr:suburb for urban addresses1

For historical reasons, rural addresses use addr:hamlet instead of addr:suburb. This is about 10% of the 2.2 million addresses. iD has no way of handling this weird situation, but this PR at least makes the address picker more useful for the 1.9 million urban addresses.

Disclaimer: I currently maintain NZ's address import tool
