Support other data sources #5

It would be best if the script can also support other regions and data sources.

At the moment, the database relies on the external IDs for street names, which makes it hard to import other sources. Theoretically this could be handled at the server level by generating our own IDs when we process the data.

It should also be checked whether the script can deal with no street names being present as some data sources might not have this information readily available.

Brussels: Simple shapefile with the necessary information, including street names. Need to check the license though as I can't remember whether they were already added to the license page.

Wallonia: ICAR contains all the necessary information in a shapefile, including street names. I think SPW was already added to Waze's license page, to verify.

Netherlands: Atom feed (xml) with address points. It's not clear whether this is kept up to date after the update from BAG to BAGv2. The BAG website seems to want to retrieve money from companies using the data, but the INSPIRE data seems to be available free of charge and even without any required attribution.
