Checkout address form layout

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The current checkout address form layout doesn't play nice with fixed width
layouts, because each table cell width is determined by the long country
selection widget.
In most cases, with a default font size, this causes the table to have a
width of 840 pixels, which is very close to the minimum site width on
1024x768 monitors, and leaves a very small space for porlet columns.

I attach a screenshot which shows the problem on a fixed width layout of
980 pixels.

In my opinion it would be better to put the two address vertically (Mailing
under Shipping) as the default for this release, or use floating layers in
order have the addresses side by side at high resolutions, and degrade them
gracefully to a vertical layout at low resolutions.

If you agree on this issue I can take it (pretty easy to do).

I would also add that the addresses should be formatted as addresses, not like 
fields
spit out with their titles. ie put lable "address" and then write out the whole
address (in total would take up about a third of number of lines on screen).

Also, the first and second address lines/boxes (and possibly city box) should 
be a
bit wider, so that the address value within can be seen.

Please have a look at enhancements done to the layout of address (by kapilt). It
fixed the wide country box issue, but the form is kept narrow (re width of 
address
fields).

i think we are done with this one for M1, unless someone wants to take another 
stab...
