Add "Allow International Addresses" setting to Contribution block

Finance

As churches have started to embrace online streaming - whether by design or by need - I've seen an increase in questions in the community chat about how to allow somebody from another country to donate online. The issue they run into is the inability to enter an international address. Currently, the only work around I believe is to enable this globally across the entire Rock server - which is often undesirable. I think it might make sense to add a block setting to the contribution block (transaction entry) to enable international addresses just for that block.

The goal of this setting would be a binary OR with the global setting. That is, if both are false then international addresses are not supported. If either is true then international addresses are supported.
