no billing address when not needed (#11828)

Issue

Some paydrivers do not require a billing address (Cash and Paypal). The cart should not ask for an address when the user can only choose from paydrivers who do not require an address.

This means that the paydriver should get an extra method like needAddress(); so the cart can determine wether to ask for a billing address or not.

dapperedodo 9/2/2010 7:44 am	You are right about that, but in some states that is not the case. Should't we give the opportunity to those sellers? We have several sites just selling online content. We do not need to know where these people live, we just pay tax for every sale (out government likes that)
preaction 9/2/2010 9:06 am	Ah, so then it probably shouldn't be paydriver-specific, but rather a setting in the shop. PayDrivers would have to be aware that they may not get a billing address (though the ones who don't want one won't ask for one and break). So yes, PayDrivers would need a "needBillingAddress" method, and if billing addresses are disabled by the settings, only those that don't need it can be used. Approved.
perlDreamer 9/10/2010 6:15 pm	The way that Joeri and I discussed it at the WUC, is that the cart would go through the list of available PayDrivers that the user can use. If none of them require billingAddress (like if someone only had Cash and PayPal drivers enabled), then the billing address form would not be shown.
preaction 9/10/2010 7:21 pm	But as I said, they both might require billing address for tax calculation. The PayDriver has no role in calculating tax, so it can not be the only one deciding whether or not billing address shows up.
