\HushList maintains a database of contacts which use the address as the unique ID and additional metadata. Since \HushList supports multiple blockchains, it \MUST have a contact database
for each chain. Each chain \MUST have it's own contact namespace, so you can have Bob on Hush and Bob and Zcash and they will not conflict.
\HushList internally associates lists to Contacts, not the address of a contact. This allows the user to update the address of a contact in one place and things work correctly the next time the address of that contact is looked up. Lists contain Contacts and Contacts have addresses.
A \HushList contact may only have ONE address, either taddr or zaddr, but not both.

Each HushList has a dedicated default chain that it is attached to. When looking up
\HushList contacts for a given list, their address on that chain will be retreived.

For the \Hush chain, this is 2.5 minutes.
