Move the address structure earlier in the cfg802154.h header in order to
use it in subsequent additions. Give this structure a header to better
explain its content.

I don't see the sense of moving this around? Is there a compilation
warning/error?  

Not yet but we will need to move this structure around soon. This
commit is like a 'preparation' step for the changes coming later.

I can move this later if you prefer.

Actually there is not actual need for moving this structure anymore.
The number of changes applied on top of the original series have turned
that move unnecessary. I still believe however that structures should,
as far as possible, be defined at the top of headers files, instead of
be defined right before where they will be immediately used when
introduced. I'll cancel the move but I'll keep the addition of the kdoc
which I think is useful.

Thanks,
Miquèl
