address book needs to support rotation

[Bill Filler]

address book is currently locked to portrait and it should not be

I agree and thanks for this bug report. In portrait mode, the contact name
is often shortened if it has more than ~20 characters, same for other field
like the contact address... good enhancement in perspective!

There is progress (in silo 039 / https://requests.ci-train.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/1130 ), but it's not quite there yet... look what happens if it's rotated immediately:

@selene, thanks for the comments. I just fixed that on the same branch Rev. 560

BTW, while scrolling through a large list of contacts, there is usually an index on the right side which can provide faster navigation to a specific letter. This index doesn't appear in portrait mode.

Could that be added at some point?
